Does anyone have an id for DRAGON86 please? If it's a good one I may be able to get down to see it before they hangar it.
Cheers

Thanks John
Its been a while since she last showed on my sbs,
So if some nice person can turn on her mode-s for her departure with the hex code AE0966 or decimal 11405670 or octal 53404546. It would be much appreciated. :thumbs:

I take that there were no departures today? Gusty winds at FFD playing a part in it?

Ahh yes!

It sounded like a single engined U2, but maybe a 4 engined C17, or even a 2 engined Voyager. :pop:
