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

Somehow I knew you were going to snag this one! Cheers Pete.

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!

I know that you don't spend alot of time on Bluesky, but I understand you had a birthday a couple days ago. Here's wishing you a very belated Happy Birthday. I'm sure you enjoyed to the fullest. Cheers! BTW....I heard about Schwarber's 4 tater night!

You are doing a great thing Lew. The looks on the faces of the recipients of your work tell it all. 👍

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!

My thought here is that the original #selcal DR-HJ conflicts with the GIA B738 PK-GNC which also has the #selcal of DR-HJ. Same holds true with GIA B777 PK-GIA, it had the same s/c as GIA B738 PK-GNA JK-AE. This is the best I can rationalize. Cheers Pete!

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!

This past Thursday, my Son and Daughter In-Law caught this shot of Mt. Rainier at 20,000 ft 28 minutes before landing at SEA, on their way to Anchorage, Alaska. I have always marveled at the beauty of our national treasures. I wish I was here. Enjoy

Part 1 instantly brought a smile to my face as remembering the early days of Nomadic and You and Bob in particular. It seems in the last 4 years that I have been following you, I have vicariously been with you on all those flights, sometimes knowing where you are going even before you leave.
