VISITORS
The day's only newcomer was Citation 680 LN-SSS (0133) operated by Sundt Air, which arrived late afternoon from Gardermoen before returning there a while later.

FLEET NEWS
Air Berlin. The carrier's financial troubles should, hopefully, be eased by Etihad who today announced that they were increasing their shareholding in the airline from 2.99% to 29.21% through a new share issue.
British A/W B752 G-CPES (29114) made a foray from the hangar as N955FD yesterday & today to undertake engine runs. It is not now expected to leave Gatwick for the USA before the end of the year.
British A/W World Cargo/Global Supply Systems B748F G-GSSE (37568) left Paine Field today on delivery, reportedly to Hong Kong.
Ryanair B738 EI-EVA (40288) made its first flight today.

ROUTE NEWS
None today.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
Following yesterday's nostalgia corner, my thanks to Vince Horan for reminding me that the Jet Commander was originally designed by Aero Commander, not IAI, & that the rights were only sold to IAI after Aero Commander was taken over by North American Rockwell.
Here goes with a final heads-up for expected Rossiya A148 dates - 25/12, 31/12, 16/1, 20/1, 21/1, 22/1.
