ZK021 is now 4 FTS Valley based Hawk hence the VYT callsign as VYT is Valley hawk callsign ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

ATP SELPX emerged yesterday (26th) painted as LXWAX, although it is not apparently officially re-registered as yet; after engine runs it returned into the hangar. SEKPX arrived today, presumably to replace it.
Also in today was Warrior EIDJM (complete with Swiss flag) - I believe this is the first 'new' Irish visitor this year !!

"Fri 22nd - ZK021 "VYT289" (interesting 3 number callsign ?)"
marquis, i think that this unusual 3 number call sign means the first solo flight for one of the valley pilots.
cheers mike

Quieter today - Cessna 182 GJBRN across from Newtownards and Bond's EC135 GSPHU as "Redhead 12".
Easyjet was EZIM again
(looks as if GBSVB did night-stop as it departed this afternoon in company with GNWFC)
