Was she deadheading?
Hmmm, you might try your luck at http://www.flightsim.com. You’d be surprised how many charts and maps can be found there. Of course the site is far from complete so your region may not be available.
The F28 was designed specifically to operate from unprepared strips, and to this day continues doing so all over the southern hemisphere. Most likely Fokker was trying to see if the F100, loosely based on the F28, could perform the same trick. As the photog said this was a test flight. Also notice the dutch registration.

Nice report!
The crop duster can be either one of these two planes:
1) PZL 106BT Turbo Kruk
2) Ayres S.2R-T34
both planes are the same except made by different manufacturers under license.
WW1 for making planes serious.
WW2 for making planes a proper alternative to ships, building lots of airfields.
DC3, 737, 320 nuf said.
Deregulation for making it possible for the LCCs to pop up.
In the great scheme of it, the concorde/tu144 or meaningless. The 787 and 350 will not be a great leap either. More advanced then the 767 and 330 no doubt, but a revolution?
Far worse has happened to them before, this probably wont even make the papers, stuff has rolled off taxiways and runway practicaly every day this week. Two S360s collided over Milwaukee yesterday and that hasnt even made this forum! Its just that time of year…
True, but Ryanair is a controversial airline that a lot of people do not like. This means that the press will want to take the most out of it. Tragic though it may be, the collision of the S360s interests noone here because it is halfway across the world.
