EKKL... This is the PROFESSIONAL pilots.... network, and there's no need for bad language thank you.. It figures that the people on here are, somehow, mixed up with the aviation industry. WE all understand - it's you outsiders who don't. Oh yes, as well as being an avid spotter I spent nigh on 40 years in the aviation industry and the only "hip" I know about is the one that pains me when I'm on the running machine...

Sorry HD, it just annoys me when I don't know where the airport is when mentioned in a post. Why can't people just type the name of the airport!
FYI, I am a professional photographer with a lapsed PPL from a few years back.

Like EKKL I often don't understand either. There are thousands of codes - it'd make life a lot easier if the places were spelt out. Perhaps an encyclopaedic knowledge of airport abbreviations should be de rigeur for professional pilots eh?

Latest word I have, via another email group, which is supposed to come from Antonov:
Due in Monday 17:.55 Due out Saturday 3rd at 08:00!
I know no more but, as before, would be mega-grateful for any additional info as we'll be heading north for this one...
