C17 is a STOL (short take off and landing) military aircraft designed to get into all sorts of airfields, even dirt runways.
it should not be used to determine which airfields are suitable for wide body passenger aircraft.
it’s actually a very powerful aircraft and can climb very fast.

Not that it matters much at this juncture, but I'm now under the impression that there was no such requirement/precondition/pressure, etc. (whatever word one might choose to use.) Rather, AA was actually anxious to give it a go, go figure.

new LAX to CHC flights?
I thought I'd read new LAX-CHC non-stop flights would be available to book beginning Nov 30, 2019 (for service beginning Oct 2020). Both yesterday and this morning checking random October dates for non-stops on AA's schedule wasn't able to pull any up however.
Just wondering if anyone else has seen these? Not sure my recall is correct, or maybe something changed.

The Expertflyer time table search functionality shows the route starting the week of 10/25, and it operates on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
That would means the first flight is 10/28 (Wednesday), and that date is still not searchable on AA.com (currently searchable until 10/27).

Thanks! I didn't realize EP would show the routes in advance of start-up (before they were bookable by the operating airline). Good Info.
