May 14, 20251 yr I hope they never dare to see the MQU VOR when approaching SKBO from the west... or when flying into SKQU directly.

Wouldn’t want that would we? 🤣 A free article in today’s British Telegraph… https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/151aee79fd888f14 Not that I'm doubting the validity of this article and if true the name change is pretty ridiculous. However, other than the Telegraph, I can't find any other news outlet reporting this (That doesn't reference the telegraph article itself). Nor can I find the CAA circular that the telegraph themselves are referencing. I am also struggling to find the circular or publication from the CAA website itself. Is there any other sources to this?

May 14, 20251 yr It's great to see Gov't acting with alacrity to fix Priority No. 786,491. Someday, they might get to something that actually moves the ball down the field...

May 14, 20251 yr Ah yes the double standards of being righteous … I dream of a day when the human race evolves past things that don’t matter and can focus on things that do matter. 2 hours ago, dave2013 said: Aren't there more important issues to worry about??? You mean like our self imposed climate situation, or the “we vs. them” global trading gaming, or getting everyone educated and not just the few? 🙂
