The humorous part being both 56 and 38 were taxiing out one immediately behind the other tonight (just before 11pm)... considering 56 was scheduled at 7:20pm and 38 at 9:15pm... should make for a fun time at LHR T3 baggage claim in the morning (I can only imagine how many people will see AA and MIA listed on the display and completely ignore the actual flight number, waiting for their bags from the wrong flight).

Miami is the opposite of an ontime machine. The worst is when you are delayed on a unmodified 767 in Miami with no air in the summer. It really gives torture tube a whole new meaning.
