DC-10[edit]

Just to say you have done a good job with DC-10 list, I dont have a problem with the list but it does appear to list a number of operators that have only wet-leased or charted aircraft. My query is that I believe the RAF did not operate a DC-10, one may have been chartered to take troops to Iraq but that is not the same as Operated. A comparable example is that the RAF is not listed as operating the Boeing 747 but the flights to the Falkland Islands are operated by chartered 747s using RAF callsigns, nobody would consider that they are RAF operated.

Still not convinced that 47908 was actually operated by the RAF, as it remained Belgian registered it presumably flew with a Belgian-licenced crew. I suspect that it operated troop charters for the UK MoD which is not the same as being RAF operated. All the references so far have only been hobbist secondary references, really need to find a primary reference to what the aircraft was doing. I have added Leased as a comprise until I can find a primary source. MilborneOne 15:55, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the compliment. I've changed the sentence to give it a broader meaning rather than just "operators". I've decided to use that word (operator) following what I've seen on other articles. --EuroSprinter 16:28, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
