Michael, not that I am surprised, but: GREAT list. 8)
The Caribou was a civilian one, N95NC, at skydivers' happening at Moorsele (B) in 1988. Pic of it is even still online in a forgotten corner of this website.

And to continue with that, does taxiing only count as anything as well?

Airborne, landing on a different airport, taxien around (not standing still), airborne again and landing on the first airport where we started -> one or two flights?

One flight number, no stop listed in the flight schedule, but operated WITH a stop and even two different planes?

Flight RG8707, listed as Lisbon - Rio, no mention of stopover. Flight turned out to be RG8707 Lisbon - Sao Paulo (B767), Sao Paulo - Rio (B737).
For me this counts as two flights as we changed planes. But when it is just a stopover (like AMS - OPO - LIS on the same plane) it counts as one flight.

In your case Bokkum... eh.... one flight?

Hmm, lett me gues, you are a crew member or you make a fine deal with the crew onboard this aircraft??......

Normaly it's not allowed to go in to the " crew rest " area when you are a passenger.

Swell! But hey, mine had pistons (and the noise in the stripped cabin was deafening while on the way to 12500ft at a slight nose-down attitude) 8) 8)

Absolutely! But you only log time till you loose physical contact with the plane.

Yes, as taxiing.

Still jealous about that one, but the weather in november 2005 wasn't good enough to be allowed the same. Ah well, still have a few years to catch up on some things, old man. :wink:

And Jeroen, I'd count them as two flights, as it includes two take-offs and two landings. My definition of a flight would be;
'every period of time spent in an airplane flying beginning with a take-off and ending with a landing or jumping out (excluding 'touch&go's')'
or something similar.
