Are you referring jog around North Korea? There was a similiar discussion in recent posts of http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...ts-2012-a.html on the likelihood of a error in the flightaware routing database.

The only interesting thing I see is they've returned to the great circle route after flying straight across the Pacific for a while due to an unusual Jetstream path.

Flying over North Korea seems ambitious. I know my last trip LAX-PVG we came close to, then jogged west of, the NK border. With the crazies running that horrowshow, I'm not sure I would dare get within 10 miles of that border.....

I you look at the actual Flightaware path for UA857-21st, it's wrong, too, even though the jog isn't shown. Any white route trace in Flightaware is suspect: only the green traces have support. The white ones are out of Flightaware's service area; Flightradar24 is more accurate.
