Re: AF84 diversion

It looks like it spent just over an hour on the ground at OAK before
continuing on to SFO.  FLIFO didn't say why though.

Subject: AF84 diversion


Anyone know why Air France AF84, scheduled CDG-SFO, diverted to OAK  
today?  Around 12:20 PDT I heard a louder-than-usual multiengine jet  
overhead my house, and it was an Air France 747 on an unusual course,  
turning south to west at about 3,000 feet. FlightAware shows the  
diversion, but not why. My guess would be low fuel+ congestion at SFO,  
but it was lower than OAK arrivals usually pass by here, so i wonder  
if there was a flight problem.

I've seen reports from some online system posted here which I assume  
are not available on the public Internet, so I'm curious.
