Shortest distance between 2 points isn't a straight line

Happen to catch this AA test flight over the house earlier. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/AAL9658

We get a lot of test flights out of Tulsa and they are fun to watch them climb out and where they go. Earlier a 777 when KTUL to KDFW via Wichita Falls.

Looks like he is forming an A, could it be?

If it stays on its planned route (AFW - Texhoma 9 Departure - Tulsa - Panhandle - Bowie 9 Arrival - DFW) as it appears it will, the pattern won’t be anything spectacular. :frowning:

Oh well, I got excited there for a minute, thought he was gonna bang out an AA for us.
