St. Louis International...

[MrChristo]

...I was looking at the arrival/departure 'plates' pilots use to get in and out of St. Louis today, and I noticed one of the outbound tracks was a "Cards 4 Departure".

Of course, no-one else in the room appreciated it, but I thought it was pretty cool. :0corn

 

[BahamaMama]

shouldn't they be 'arriving' last night/or today? home stand starting tomorrow. (or are you out in San Diego)?

 

[MrChristo]

I'm out a little further west than that BM...

Sorry, should have explained a bit more...the 'tracks' are designated routes for all aircraft, all the time, after taking off from the aerodrome...
..."Cards 4" just happens to be the name. [The 4 just indicates it's been updated 4 times]

Just goes to show what's on most aviation-types mind's...(besides the obvious 2 things of course )
