MyTravel Mayday
Heading north over Barcelona this morning (11th March) at abot 0940 I hear the following conversation:
Kestrel 203: "Mayday Mayday Mayday, Kestrel 203 engine failure, descending to FL 100"
Manuel (for it is he): "Say again?"
Kestrel 203: "Mayday Mayday Mayday, Kestrel 203, engine failure, descending to FL 220 (wise move that!) turning on to heading 145"
Manuel: "Roger"
I 'followed' Kestrl 203 through all the frequencies (on box 2) until he went to BCN tower on 118.1 when he was blotted out by (I think) Toulouse tower. Hope all went well despite [apparent] lack of assistance or even interest by the Spanish controllers.
Boeing or Airbus?
