This is using DUATS. It's the only way I can get textual proof that I did
it - if I phoned Buffalo AFSS and tried to enter the flight plan, you'd
just deny that I did it right.


But you did say you were using Buffalo FSS. In your first message you
said you can't file a flight plan with CYRIL in the US, we know that's
not correct. Is the problem with DUATS or is it with FSS?


As I said in the first message, it's with both. Neither will accept a
flight plan with CYRIL. The Buffalo flight service guy always says it's
because their computer won't accept CYRIL as a valid identifier.
