tim,

Curious, but I was inbound PSA last night, when to be told by upstairs ATC, that PSA had an emergency; delay unknown. Later on, with lower level ATC, same story. Then suddenly, the airport was open and we continued in. Handling agent had no idea and knew of no emergency or airport closure. Strange! or just Italian reaction at a mixed civil/military field?
No MYT a/c in sight.

Lucky for us we had 30 mins extra fuel to consider our options. Had we been on bean counter's minimum it would have been an immeadiate peel off into somewhere else. Unknown delays on minimum motion lotion is a definite health risk.
