Chinese Unknown

Logged 780214 using call BON5028. I didn't notice point of origin. It's likely a first flight

My database shows 780213 as B-KPG a B777-367ER and 780215 as B-KXH a B737-808. I suspect from the track it is a B777 B-KPH

Hi Jim,

This is B-KPH Boeing 777-300ER of Cathay Pacific which had it's first flight out of PAE field as N50281. I noted it today still in it's primer coating. The call sign field of the FMC can only take 7 numbers/letters. The correct call sign in this case is incorrect due to the length of the test serial Boeing use.
