Not sure. All I know is from our flight safety mag 'Cockpit' that a 'Diana' callsign had a close encounter with one of our stovies a few years ago. Stovie lost the radome almost up to his feet and the F16 lost a foot or so of stabilator!

Neither of them saw each other!!

Diesel:

I'm sure Capt PPrune would be proud to answer that for you, but I will beat him to
it:

"Jetset" is Air 2000 of the UK, flight code
AMM (geddit). Large scheduled/charter operator with A320/321, B757/767.

Cheers

Here is a site for looking up operator callsigns.

It helps if you know the three-letter designator, but if you don't you can guess the first letter and then use your browser's search function for the name or callsign.
