How B61971 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for B61971 across the FLL and AUS boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left noticeably late (~25 min) but landed right on schedule. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how B61971 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
