Summary

Red Rowley received a reported Greek overflight charge in May 1989 that used his aircraft call sign but described a Boeing 707. He disputed the notice and said he had been on Beaver Island.

Evidence limits

The newspaper preserves a contested correspondence report, not an aviation authority determination, payment record, or flight log.
