A few other flights appear to have diverted to AAN, including FDB1304 and FDB1690.

My guess, based on their path, is that they diverted to Al Ain International Airport for low fuel after holding to get into DXB, then dropped off flight tracking because the coverage just isn't as good as around Dubai.

They have a 13,123 ft runway at AAN, plenty for an A380.

I always run my radio at full power, but that's only 20W.

My license is apparently good up to 2,250W PEP, not sure what I'd do with that much power.

This one was square, must’ve only been $200 or something. Even found a secret service menu to adjust the picture stretch to perfection.

Heh, back in 2004 I went to Future Shop and bought a CRT TV and what must’ve been among the last stand-alone VCRs

(Ended up leaving both behind in Ontario when I moved to BC a few years later)

That was a little more directed towards @wgoodf.bsky.social - folks in Nova Scotia carry a lot of Scottish surnames

I’m from “New Scotland”, so there’s probably a distant relationship there too 🤣

My BIL is from Normandy and my sister is a linguist, I should ask her about it 🤔

Huh, how about that - PressReader through the library has it here too

That just happened to my wife's laptop too! The entire sequence!

What a weird way to start a long weekend.
