How UA2166 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for UA2166 across the DCA and SFO boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left a little late (~19 min) but landed right on schedule. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how UA2166 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
