June 3, 201115 yr Is this for real? Shreenshots from FlightAware on my iPhone. MS Paint used. They probably sold a plane to an airline down there, but I'm guessing that a 737 won't make the journey with out a fuel stop or two... or three.

June 3, 201115 yr Is this for real? Shreenshots from FlightAware on my iPhone. MS Paint used. Highly unlikely - FABM runway length is 1175m and no customs facilities for immigration. Perhaps it is being broken up and transported by road thereCheersBriz Govender
June 3, 201115 yr I'm guessing it's a data entry issue (technical term for typo), the normal flight's destination (KBHM) sharing a few letters and close keyboard spacing with FABM. A ferry flight would probably have a 9XXX flight number anyway. Lee Barber - Rochester, NY PPL-G

June 4, 201115 yr Would be data entry wrong on the swa dispatchers part I believe. Flightaware and others just take the data feed given to them by the filed plan from dispatchers.
