Keep us informed,ta !
Is anything going into Kinloss ?

Subject: Re: STRIKER 10 2009-07-06, 03:06

Various STRIKER and PAGAN flights on the Lossie approach frequencies.

PAGAN 2 on the Kinloss Tower frequency. And STRIKER 12 on the Kinloss Tower frequency as well, so maybe they're landing at Kinloss.

Anyone know why STRIKER10 was squawking 7700 - would suggest some sort of Emergency?
