We had a strange arrival at L3 this morning - I guess AS20 was the first to actually arrive at this gate. We came in and stopped but were too far away from the gate so we had to get the tug to pull us forward. The pilot mentioned that they hadn't yet painted the new markers for our plane type. I'm kind of confused by that because we waited a few minutes for another AS jet (AS27?) to leave our gate. So...that means it was towed in the night before?
