    Yeah, I have contributed to MAN as well. Was one of the first in fact. AMS has been entered by me as well with some minor updates by others.

    Did have the problems mentioned by the others. On top of that, if you zoom over +/- 250m the images loose quality rapidly. But if you do not go over 250mm you will have a great lense, and not zooming in a lot will also make the camera “hunt” less for its target.

    All in all I think it is a great lense. But mine stopped working after a little over a year so it is now a fancy paperweight. Did not use it in a rough manner either, so I still do not know what caused the problem. Never dropped the lense either and was only rarely removed from the camera because my other lense is crap (sigma 18-55).

    Might be.

    I know Carpatair has a few on order, but those are formerly Jetsgo planes. Of course it is still possible that Carpatair has taken up this plane.

    Another possibility might be Aeroflot Don. They will take on a few F100s that where previously with Jetsgo. Amongst others the former C-GKZP. It is now at Woensdrecht with registration OE-IIC (Austrian registration because of the Austrian lessor). Still in full Jetsgo livery though.

    Then there is Malev, they do not operate F100s but do have 4 F70s. They used to have 5, but HA-LME went to KLM Cityhopper a year and a half ago. But Malev seems pretty satisfied with their B736s so getting F100s would be an odd move.

    Slovak Airlines also has a few F100s.

    But again all this is only speculation.

    I know this is going of topic, but when I saw this photo I immediatetly thought of this thread.

    Those are not flags as mentioned by GA. They are used to mark the kerosine lines. Schiphol has underground kerosine lines. A hose goes into the line, through a pump truck, into the plane. The area where the hose connects with the undergound line is indicated by the flag.

    Nice photos.

    Here too. I really liked to read the navy forum, though I did not contribute a whole lot due to me not knowing squat about it!

    Is this the entire group? Cause there are a few sub brands operating. For instance Slovenian Spirit or Salzburg Spirit.

    Did they not order CRJ-700s or CRJ-900s a few months ago?

    Here is the full list:
    http://europa.eu.int/comm/transport/air/safety/doc/flywell/2006_03_22_flywell_list_en.pdf

    • Air Koryo
    • Air Services Comoros
    • Ariana Afghan (ooooh, this will be controversial)
    • BGB Air
    • GST Aero Air Company
    • Phoenix Aviation
    • Phuket Airlines (they where banned everywhere anyway)
    • Reem Air (this will annoy the Royal Netherlands Air Force. They charter Reem Air big time. Does anyone know if the ban also counts for military and governmental flights?)
    • Silverback Cargo (their plane was chained in BRU anyway for maintenance issues)

    Carriers that are not allowed with their own planes, but that are allowed with planes leased from other airlines (not blacklisted airlines obviously).

    • Air Bangladesh
    • Buraq Air
    • Hewa Bora Airlines (their L1011 is still allowed, rest of fleet is banned. In other words, there is still a reason to go plane spotting at BRU ;).

    All airlines from these countries are banned as well:

    • Democratic Republic Congo
    • Equatorial Guinea
    • Liberia
    • Sierra Leone
    • Swaziland
