I was talking about how they file there flight plan. In which the military uses 3 - 5 letter names for callsigns plus 2 or 3 digit flight number. Example,. KATT120 (VT-10 KNPA) or ROKT515 (VT-86 KNPA). Others such as Airlines file as DAL (Delta) AAL (American) SWA (Southwest). This is how the controllers see them on there scopes and how they file there callsigns in the system, not they way described above.
This activity is about a week old, but I’ve searched and no one has reported it.
That’s quite a flight path from KDAL to KDAL. 9 hrs 9 mins!!
I found this on the ‘Civil Air Comms’ Yahoo group:
Just flew past, caught him on the fishfinder (full ADS-B support):
N852AK, a B738 that was apparently delivered to “Sultan Al-Kabeer” in
November. Seems to be flying around from DAL a bit. Anyone have the
scoop on this one?
Got a chance to see it make a turn in Sacramento in mid-August. We have an election regarding a new arena for the Kings. Maybe Southwest could dispatch here again in late October.
It once made the local paper " Glengarry News" in Eastern Ontario, resident thought it was in trouble as it did low level testing. This while I lived near CYCC regional.
A private jet with seven aboard including New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez slightly overran a runway at Burbank’s Bob Hope Airport on Friday and was stopped by a special material designed to keep craft on the airfield, officials said.
No one was injured after the Gulfstream landed on the airport’s east-west Runway 8, slowed down and then turned into an area covered with a system designed to bring aircraft to a stop, said Ian Gregor, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman
I was instructing in a DA20-C1, commonly referred to as a katana, a few weeks back and flew into Love (KDAL). We parked at Business Jet Center. As we were taxiing in, a nice 4-door luxury sedan comes out from under the awning and without a care in the world races by infront of us cutting us off. Then we saw a ramp attendant in one of those “limo” type golf carts racing after her. We were later told, very apologetically, by the ramp attendant that that was Jerry Jone’s wife and that because her husbund owns the Cowboys she thinks she owns everything. Thought that was rather funny, but when I asked the ramp agent if she could score us some free cowboys tickets from the incident she just laughed.
