How VS48 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for VS48 across the JFK and LHR boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: landed -1 min. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how VS48 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
