Flight path question
I was on this flight today-

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/F...810Z/KMSP/KDSM

and it looks like we went WAY out of the way to get to DSM. Normally it's a straight up and down shot, but for some reason we had to fly over LaCrosse to get to Des Moines. I know Flightaware puts the radar on the map at the time of the flight so if there were storms to fly around, I'd understand.

This just looks like the pilots thought we were going somewhere else and then were reminded they had to go to DSM!

Any ideas as to why this would happen?
