I wonder if the Co-pilot had to sign for it - I hope that he (or she) gets a receipt.

Coff.
You would think the EU of all places would produce a plastic note with Hologram instead of just a plastic note (if it is plastic and not paper).

500N old chap ... It's a novelty note :ugh:
I know. I did a quick search and was looking at
all the other Euro notes, I just didn't make that clear.
I didn't think the euro had sunk that low that they needed
a 1 million Euro note although the runs on banks might
just mean they are needed soon :O

I've just heard the aircraft was heavily fueled by the crew and turned west when it got airborne...

Yep! the aircraft first headed for the Flag Det at Nellis. I understand that the success of the Gov't funding for compensation for service personnel in Cyprus rested on the choice "Red or Black".
