Is this a coincidence for the days I looked at, or are the reconfigured 772s being deliberately kept away from IAH? I'm particularly curious as I have EZE and NRT coming up in the next month. Sorry if this is addressed upthread, but this is a long thread ...
IAH-NRT last Monday (I think) was nose number 78001 (Gordon Bethune) which has Polaris. I think only two of the GE powered exCO planes have Polaris (79011 is the other). You can track both on Flightradar24 to see where they've flown and where they're planning to fly.
