Hi all,
first posting on Luchtzak, after lurking for a long while... but I thought that maybe adding something to this thread is in order.
Spent last weekend in Cavtat (small village on the final for runway 12 at DBV) and yesterday I took a few shots of the Dubrovnik Airline MD83 which was parked on the apron also when I arrived in DBV last friday 18 March (around 2200 local). Unfortunately the shots are only taken from the window seat of the Croatia A319 which was about to take me back to ZAG->BRU.
I am quite convinced that the group of guys and girls seen in the pictures are going to be the flight attendants for the airline, and probably this was their first exposure to the airplane.
Also note that the registration was still the FAA one, though the registration was cancelled thursday last week:

Funny to notice that in the link previously posted, the new Croatian registration was already shown together with a Croatian flag, while yesterday early afternoon (took the pics at 1340 local) there were no traces of the flag and new registration, so the plane must have been ferried with the US registration to DBV.
Found more information about this craft (not an ex-Alitalia!) and the airline over here:

If only the pics would be a tad better!
Bye, Luca (EBBR)
