Personally I haven't seen a US departure during the day which has run all the way out to Richmond before turning back east.

Funny story goes along with this one.
Was spotting at beach some weeks ago- think it was in January and UAL839 to LAX decided to take a Richmond 2 departure out of 34L. Tower was clearly amused by his decision remarked "UAL839 are you sure you want the Richmond 2 SID", which was followed by a "Yes" and then tower laughing says "UAL839 that is the first time in about 10 or 15 years a west coast bound flight has taken the Richmond 2- runway 34L cleared for takeoff".
Anyways slightly off topic but hope you enjoyed it!
