How AS3493 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for AS3493 across the SNA and SFO boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left heavily delayed (~77 min) but landed heavily delayed (~53 min). Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how AS3493 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
