Default Air Canada 33 2/8/12

Hi all,

I have been watching AC33 YVR/SYD on flightaware for the past few hours as my parents are on the flight.

The flight left YVR nearly 4 hours late due to the late arrival of the first leg of AC33 from YYZ. Thus its arrival into SYD has been significantly delayed. Thats all well and good.

I notice however that tomorrows (Friday 3/8/12) arriving flight has left YYZ already, meaning that for around 30 minutes there were two aircraft using AC33 in the air at the same time. I was always of the impression that this could not be the case resulting in one of the flights needing to use a different flight number/call sign.

Can anyone advise if I am mistaken or if flightaware is not 100% accurate and todays arrival into SYD had actually landed before the departing flight from YYZ had actually took off.

Cheers

M

PS - If anyone is out there and got/gets a photo of AC33 arriving today it will be great if you can forward me a copy.
