| Back | 3 Apr 17 | KE | 023 | 747-8B5 | HL7636 | ICN-SFO | 09:30 | 6154 mi | My 1st flight on 747-8 | Next |
Below is my photo of Korean Air 747-8B5 HL7636 arriving gate 15 as flight KE 906 from Frankfurt. The aircraft would remain parked at Gate 15 until my departure to San Francisco four hours later.
To date my only other flight between this city pair, albeit involving Kimpo Airport in January 1988, was onboard a United Airlines 747SP operating UA 123 between SFO-SEL.
Therefore I have flown both the shortest fuselage and longest fuselage variants of the 747 between San Francisco and Seoul.
Photo of the seafood dinner meal option aboard KE 023. Same dinner as on the A330 from Seoul to Bangkok.
Couple hours out from SFO we were served breakfast. It was pretty good!
Flight Aware screenshot of KE 023 operating ICN-SFO. Below that is a thumbnail link to a larger image showing HL7636's recent flight history according to FlightRadar24.
Plane Finder screenshot of KE 023. I did this screenshot on Nov 23, 2017 while researching which United 777 was holding short for takeoff as we landed. It turned out to be N778UA as UA 1725 SFO-OGG.
