Kuwait run out of money??

For a country pumping 1-2 million USD a day in oil (at a conservative estimate!!) I find it entertaining that they have to shut down their radar service to the world for 'maintenance' seriously, 80nm between all departures (about 10 minutes!!) means carnage for the GCC, absolute joke and my genuine thoughts going out to the ATC mates trying to manage it in UAE and Bahrain! Having said that my Air Berlin flight is loaded up and slid 45mins-1 hour. Yaaaaawn....

80NM is greater than the oceanic separation

Foxy,

Does that mean the price of oil is back to a dollar a barrel or is Kuwait pumping a lot less these days?

Hope you get home safe an sound,

Love and kisses from Oman!! Your mug is doing fine.

You know I'm not good at numbers!!

Keep my mug safe, might need to pop back and use it if we lose the contract!
