Thanks. I found the second flight on FlightAware, which has an amusing track: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/AFR84/history/20080504/2124Z/KOAK/KSFO I guess it was nothing major. I was just surprised since there was no arrivals problem at SFO and there was no weather (SFO ATIS reported VFR approaches). -- Michael C.
