Thanks Vivian :( - I had tried to substitute the ship for the airplane model in aircraft_demo, with my coordinates, without success. Then just substituted my coordinates in aircraft_demo, and still received the error message. So, I've been unable to even make it a slow, low flying aricraft. Oh well...
