[ACARS] Flight OO0000, reg OOOOO

Tue, 05 Feb 2002 13:25:01

Folks

Since it appeared to stay in the same place for over an hour I assume it was 
a helicopter! (though it also appears to be en route to Gander)

Picked this up from Telford in West Midlands too, but I only had two logs at 
11:09 & 11:10 (on my PC which is +/- 1 minute from UTC)
