How UA5648 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for UA5648 across the MKE and ORD boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left heavily delayed (~304 min) but landed heavily delayed (~52 min). Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how UA5648 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
