The next one is KL-714 (PBM-AMS Paramaribo-Amsterdam): a 23 hour delay. Could be because of a bird strike, I don't know yet.
Message from KLM Suriname: "De KL 714 van vandaag 16 mei met bestemming Amsterdam is met 23 uur vertraagd. De KL714 zal vertrekken op woensdag 17 mei om 19.55. Check in is mogelijk van 14.55 tot 17.55 op de Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport. Names KLM bieden wij u onze oprechte verontschuldiging aan voor eventueel ongemak als gevolg van deze vertraging..."
To be added to this list:

PH-BVK: engine damage, grounded at Shangai
PH-BFV: engine damage, grounded at Bejing
PH-BHA: engine damage, grounded at Rio

Re: Trivia 2017 (miscellaneous news)
As I understand it, in most EU countries only mode-S transponders are valid for areas where one must be carried, and active; so we'll only see more of them. They are already commonplace in airliners; they will become so too, over the next couple of years, in more modest aeroplanes. Which includes balloons, and also gliders, ultralights, experimentals, warbirds and other antiques, &c &c So more and more of these will be showing up on FR24 and the like.
My own is to be installed in two days.

The new airport building at Eindhoven Airport has collapsed. No injuries, very serious damage:

There's a hole in my map ...
From SkyVector minutes ago.
I seem to remember that Hungary was involved in a trial of Free Routing Airspace but that was during night-time.
Is it now a 24/7 free airspace?
Couldn't believe I'd see this before my body temperature has dropped significantly.

I think so, yes. Actually I am surprised they remain the sole European country to do away with the 20th century concept of airways.Is it now a 24/7 free airspace?
