Nothing on the news, but obviously SOMETHING happened.

It doesn't necessarily mean there was something wrong with the plane itself, it may have been a problem at the airport, causing 633 to have to hold out before heading in.

I was listening to BUR ATC and there were flights arriving and departing at the time. Flightaware shows that they had the orbits or at least the break towards the coast planned before they even left OAK.  Check out the light blue dotted line.

Building in some time because of no open gates maybe?

He was just practicing to be in NASCAR, see he even went to Ontario so he could be close by to Fontucky.

I'm starting to think it was a maintenance flight.

That was my first thought, but why wouldn't they go out off the coast or something?
