Yes.

Yes, I see that message.

Oddly, after uncommenting that line and compiling, I
now see AI aircraft at San Carlos and Oakland. Output
shows 7 AI arrivals activated after 20-30 seconds when
starting at KSFO. Not sure now where I was going
wrong before. Could be that I did not notice AI
aircraft because I was sitting on the runway (did they
go around?). But until today I did not notice ATC
messages when tuning to 119.00.
I'll assume the point here is to follow ATC
instructions which indicate active runway and
direction of traffic in the pattern.
Thanks again for the help.
Mike
