Ground_crew, please write in English, except in the section devoted to French/Dutch messages.

I do not think a General Aviation topic is needed. There is already a section on Aviation News, where such topics can be discussed.

Congrats, Rutger.

I saw that OO-VBR is still there in an all-white livery with red titles. I thought the lease of that plane had long expired (see another thread of this forum: https://www.aviation24.be/modules.php?name ... opic&t=465)

OA145/6 to/from ATH is normally operated with a B734. Why that change? There is a twice-weekly chance (Wed-Fri) to see the B717 with OA143/4 to/from SKG.

Comet and Avro,
Have you ever flown a charter? I did many times, and it is ansolutely not what you describe. Most people behave. There are probably some special charters (football fans e.g.) that fall under the description of Comet, but this is probably an exception.
