It did not. UPS seems to be lying. The plane is clearly still in the air.

Almost here!
My 5S 32 GB Gold is in Anchorage Alaska. Looks like the delivery date of Oct 7th might actually happen!

Considering UPS99 from Incheon to Anchorage goes to Louisville, I doubt they're going to move them to a _different_ plane. Unless of course UPS was lying about the phones being in Incheon in the first place. Stop to refuel in ANKR and then go.
Last week UPS99 left ANKR at 12:02 AM AKDT Sunday. So we should see an update within 4 hours.
Still in the airI don't see a ups99 on there though. At least not tonight so I'm banking on one of these flights. If our phones landed at 8:24 Alaska time, it should be on the next flight out. But whatevs, it'll be out tonight! Yay!

There was only one flight from Incheon today--the one that left Korea at 7:31 AM. It will touch down in Anchorage in approx. 46 min from the time of this post. The UPS tracking information was generated prematurely as the plane is still in the air. I assume the plane will refuel, as others stated, and then continue on to Louisville, KY with a different flight number.
Realistically I'd agree. Unless they're insanely fast and can unload 99 and reload 61 in the nick of time
Okay 5 minutes till landing.
Reviewing the various flights out of Anchorage, it seems some of the times don't add up. IE: UPS61 takes off at 9:48, but (Scheduled in 42 minutes)....
9:30PM to 9:48PM doesn't sound like enough time for refueling, however 10:20PM does sound right, which is UPS63. Anyway I have no idea what I am talking about.

Perfect.
Please post pics in the thread of the phone in the case once you get it delivered. So curious b/c I almost bought this case lol.
The case is a worthy successor to my old incase hybrid shell cover. Got a new incase pro hardshell cover that should be here Monday. Pic attached.
AAPL already was nice enough to send me a brown leather case too. Still have to scotch guard it though
my case anxiously awaiting my beautiful gold phone

UPS99 continues as that flight number to Louisville at 12:23AM
Might they just keep everything on the same plane?
Considering loading and unloading, they might be able to unload a plane in 15 minutes. It's all modularized and on conveyor belts.

Was talking about the Mara Hoffman case with the pharaoh on it for pics
Will post with my new incase shell once I receive it
UPS61 came from Taiwan
UPS61 came from Hong Kong
I think everything is staying on their respected planes... So we will continue to see USP99 rout to Louisville at 12:23AM, to be verified by the departure scan.
Unfortunately we will all be asleep by then. I guess this ends the vigil for the time being.
I agree. It looks like UPS99 departs Anchorage at 12:08 and arrives in Louisville at 10:08 EDT.
UPDATE: Departure Scan 9:13PM...
Man what time zone are they working with? I am now guessing AKST. FlightAware is using AKDT.
If correlates with their 8:24 arrival scan, then they did change planes to UPS63!!!
