Same exact times for me, but i don't think it very accurate. But we can all keep wishing.
I order things online. A LOT. Last year, I pretty much had my UPS guys schedule learned...deliveries to my house at school would come between 4-6pm, depending on how much else there was to deliver that day. This was rock solid consistent, and between me and my 5 other roommates, we had package deliveries probably at least weekly if not more.
However, my 4S preorder arrived right on the dot at 9 AM.
My point is, they seem to put a pretty extreme priority on iPhone's on release day, for whatever reason

particularly 3 days after you get the phone
We are ten pages behind man!

I at first had no delivery time and knowing UPS they always come by 5-6pm just checked and I'm scheduled for a 12:30am delivery!
Either way you won't be able to sleep with the delivery coming this closer
Check out all the flights leaving starting at about 2:15AM EDT

pages and pages all within minutes of eachother!!
Those are our phones people!!!!
Look through the list of flights and look for your city or your hub's city.. Keep in mind that if you live in a smaller city, it will probably not be a UPS#### flight bringing your phone it will be a smaller cargo company contracted by UPS.

When receiving my iPad 3 from Apple via FedEx there was a shipment release form and FedEx left my iPad 3. I downloaded the UPS iPhone 4S shipment release form from this forum. Do you think UPS will honor it?
Dam you made my day!
They have to be our iPhones
When the scans update they'll have been in our cities for days
Great news, thanks!
Random question...Do we know if this is a normal amount of flights or unusual?
Yeah the gap has grown from about 300 posts earlier today to 600 or so.
With all those talkative west cost posters here for awhile we were holding our own but are now losing our momentum.
Everyone post at once
Lets win over UK!an insane ammount of planes taking off until the late morning from louisville. gotta be the funk phones!
Maybe because Apple can use FedEx exclusively if UPS doesnt play ball? I think the UPS statement was a little geared towards Apple execs also to reassure them that they are adhering to the shipping agreement made with Apple.
If i wasn't too lazy I could answer that.. but if you get on flight aware, go to KSDF for the airport code, and look at past flights you should be able to determine that =)
Lots of activity going on. The delivery team has their work cut out for them, to say the least.
Lets not sleep tonight unless someone's UPS status changes to 'Departed from Louisville, KY'
Ok, going through that list, it looks like there's a UPS flight, UPS315, leaving for Rickenbacker INTL in Columbus at 4:06. However, there is also SKQ225 leaving for OSU at 3:15. SKQ225 isn't a UPS cargo plane, is it?

Well, it was 4, now it's ten... And we are all going to sleep and they are just starting the day...
It was really slow here today compared to yesterday.
