This was an hour ago...any developments?

[ISP Pilot]

The plane landed safely and did not require assistance. I tried listening on the liveatc stream but there was a lot of static and I could not make out the callsign. Will try to listen to the archives. It landed shortly after 5pm.

Oh sorry but I did have to do some work in between.
