Hi folks
Saw a flightplan 8 Sept 04 showing a 'FUA2706' flying Ronchi de Legionari in Italy to Keflavik using the RYN selcal rather than the Futura one. Taking into account that it was heading for Keflavik, was it on it's way back to the USA for Ryan or was it merely an adhoc charter flight ?

Rob,
Not positive, but since it kept the N975RY reg. on during this summer, it may have kept the RYN selcal active as well. Normally, the RYN leases start at the end of October though last year one ex Futura 734 came over a month early.
Cheers
Jeffrey

Rob,
Yes I did get your email and I'll answer it tonight from work...
To start, no Selcals on the MD-80s and 733s...
