MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
The following snippet from Travelmole made me smile:
"Qantas passengers roared with laughter when they were told their flight would be delayed. Why? Because of the reason given by the Captain. According to reports in the Herald Sun, the flight bound from Los Angeles to Melbourne was delayed because two first class passengers had kicked up a fuss about not being given size XL in-flight pyjamas. Refusing the offer of a pair from business class, the couple asked to leave the flight and the take-off was delayed while their luggage was removed. When the Captain relayed the news over the in-flight communication system, passengers burst out laughing. After a 30-minute delay, the flight took off and was able to land in Melbourne on time."

Citation 525B G-DAGS (0501) left Wichita today on delivery as a replacement for 525A G-ODAG.

Looks like another quiet day tomorrow:
