Default United Swaps SFO & LAX Services To Dreamliners

It was a moonlit approach this morning for United Airlines first Boeing Dreamliner service into Sydney. The sun was still hidden behind a long line of
coastal cloud, as B789 N38950 appeared above it, directly over flying the field towards the moon, before turning for a right circuit, and Runway 16R.
This was the UAL863 service from SFO, with the LAX service changing to a Dreamliner tomorrow. Today's UAL839 B772 from LAX was right behind
UAL863, however they were given Runway 16L. It will be great to see double Dreamliners from United each morning.

ATC: At the Moon, turn right Heading 335 for Downwind, Runway 16R

Another first at Sydney Airport this morning, with United Airlines UAL839 service from LAX being operated by a B789 Dreamliner. The aircraft today was
N27965 (37815), which was only delivered to United on the 1st March 2016, and has made two visits to Melbourne operating UAL98 / UAL99.

The weather is Sydney was completely overcast with light patchy rain, and UAL839 was initially held off the coast. Sister ship N38955 operating the
UAL863 service from SFO landed on Runway 16L, and then UAL839 tracked overhead the field for a Runway 16R approach.

So this morning we have two United Airlines B789 Dreamliners in Sydney at the same time - and the race is on for the first double.
