No. Must be a server issue. They have an emergency website listed but my anti virus won't let me log on to it.

Cheers Pete! ATDB had this code as AQKM, which conflicted with A339 9M-MNJ msn 2092. Also had a listen to 8870u SFO about 3 hours ago (1500z) covering Guam using the Kiwi SDR site kiwisdr.kfsdr.com:8075 Thanks again for sorting MNK!

Cheers Pete! Also for your info, I noticed a #selcal change for TRA PH-YHT msn 12582...new code GQ-BF changed from LM-BG. I reckon the change was sometime mid-July.

Thanks Steve for another great installment. I remember N213FR very well, here I post a pic 10 days before delivery in October 2023, sadly I missed you guys as the day I was at TPA with my ops friend Brian, the flight was scrubbed. My smile continues none the less. Cheers Steve!

Thank you Steve et al for another superb v-log. Just to let you know that this bird will soon be flying for ASL Airlines Ireland (ABR) as EI-LKD and op for Saudi Airlines (SVA). Cheers my friend!

This is the stuff that Ernest K Gann would love if he were alive today. I absolutely adore the tales that Steve and Bob tell of the life of aviation outside of the commercial airline realm. I have "goose bumps" just writing this!
