NOTAM - Miami International
In August of 2005 Miami International added RWY 8L/26R and changed other runway designations.
RWY 9L/27R was changed to RWY 8R/26L.
RWY 9R/27L was changed to RWY 9/27.
Because RWY 8L/26R is not depicted in the default FS9 scenery, it is not used unless requested.
Update your scenery to show the new runways!

AOPA Information    FAA releases radar video of F-16's close call with GA aircraft By AOPA ePublishing staff AOPA has obtained a video of the radar return and radio calls for the March 21st incident in which an F-16 pilot flew in close formation with the unsuspecting pilots of a Pilatus PC-12 and a Beechcraft Premier jet flying through an active military operations area. The pilots took aggressive maneuvers to try to prevent a midair. The F-16 pilot, based out of Luke Air Force Base, was reprimanded. Luke officials have told AOPA that they will alter their local training program to avoid this type of encounter in the future. AOPA has recommended that the Air Force and the FAA develop a way for center controllers to communicate with military controllers in real time. The two were not communicating at the time of the March incident.     Watch the close call and listen to the pilots' frantic radio calls here as they try to avoid the F-16.     Thanks to Josh Webb for his submission of this information.
