Hey, Dom EL and Zack,

Perhaps some information from Peach posted above will put to rest your notions that the flights originated in Osaka:

Getting more info that racers may have been spotted earlier, I think we need to be able to place them there by about 9.

There means at the site of the high-wire task. Osaka-originated flights are late by at least one hour of doing that. My hypothesis, shown in a different thread above, is that the spotting in Osaka was of decoys and that the real F3 went through Narita slightly earlier (see my post above).

Zack.:
There's pics of Phil + team in Osaka though, which suggests that it's an actual stop.

Though they could always force teams to connect through Tokyo or take alternate methods to get to Tokyo.

For heavens sake. Osaka is a real PitStop if I have ever seen one.

There is a Delta flight in from Osaka that arrives 8 something.

We don't know what time the source was in Osaka...he says today which is dated 11/19...but suppose he wrote that at 0001 and was referring to 11/18? I don't have the answer,but in Osaka they were.

Let's go with the obvious for now.

KIX Osaka DL 278  Delta Air Lines  scheduled arr: 9:30 AM  ACTUAL ARR: 8:31 AM

The EXIF info on the pitstop pic at Osaka Castle says it was taken at 2011-12-18T23:28:17-05:00.
Osaka is GMT +9 so that would make it  09:28:17 local time in Osaka - Sunday December 18.

So Phil would have no trouble making any of these three departures from Osaka on Sunday December 18th:

HNL Honolulu  DL 278  Delta Air Lines      20:50  20:39  N7 Landed On-time 333  08:31 - Sun 18-Dec-2011
HNL Honolulu  HA 450 Hawaiian Airlines  21:15  21:04 N15 Landed On-time 763  08:33 - Sun 18-Dec-2011
HNL Honolulu  JL 78    JAL                           21:25  21:24  S30  Landed On-time  767  09:07 - Sun 18-Dec-2011

The teams could have had a better than 24 hour pit stop and taken the same flight numbers on Monday December 19:

HNL Honolulu  DL 278  Delta Air Lines  20:50  20:38  N6  Landed On-time 333  08:31 - Mon 19-Dec-2011
HNL Honolulu  HA 450  Hawaiian Airlines  21:15  21:16  N15  Landed On-time 763  09:32 - Mon 19-Dec-2011
HNL Honolulu  JL 78     JAL  21:25  21:20  S30  Landed On-time  767 09:15 - Mon 19-Dec-2011

I think the crossing of the date line is causing some confusion - because the perception is that you arrive at your destination before you left.
