Due to the football in Germany, NATO has an AWACS in the air over Germany in case a repeat of 911 should be attempted so any such incident is obviously being taken very seriously.

From conversation last night it seems the flight concerned was not on the usual direct route (Possibly on a radar vector when original contact was lost?).

There is often a possibility to contact the aircraft through, IIRC, Copengagen Radio, but I believe this requires SELCAL or HF.

Hi OT, seems they're still keeping you all busy
