red750 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I was looking at FlightAware (YMML) about 11:40 pm when I noticed this interesting situation. A UAE A388 bound for Dubai orbiting north-west of Melbourne. It did so for quite a while.When I first started watching, ETD461, across the SA border when I took this screenshot, was abeam the UAE orbit. It left the orbit to return to YMML when the ETD flight was abeam Adelaide. [ATTACH=full]1619[/ATTACH] At 00:30, the plane was orbiting Port Phillip Bay to dump fuel. It finally landed at about 1:10 am. [ATTACH=full]1620[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]18355[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red750 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Strangely, no media reports of this incident. Has anyone any idea what caused the flight to return. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
