JMQ ARTICLE WITH PHOTOS (BUT NEEDS TRANSLATING)
Hi everyone, I found this today, but unfortunately I can't seem to translate it. Its a recent article (it mentions 2nd June 2006) as well as having good photos of JMQ. Also, if anyway can translate it, that would be great 
Jamiroquai u mom avionu
Jedan od najprestižnijih britanskih izvoznih pop-artikala, Jamiroquai, krenuo je na evropsku turneju avionom beogradske aviokompanije Prince Aviation. Sticajem okolnosti, baš ja sam pilotirao avionom kojim su slavni frontmen Jason Kay i njegov bend poleteli na Summer 2006 Tour. Početna stanica bio je London, a koncertne destinacije u prvih par dana nemački gradovi Keln i Nirnberg.
Kao što rekoh, polazna stanica bio je London. Po putnike smo došli 2. juna 2006, sletevši u vojnu bazu Northolt, jugozapadno od Londona. Northolt je aerodrom koji rado koriste slavni, pošto su tu daleko od očiju radoznalaca. Jason Kay, alijas Jamiroquai, stigao je na aerodrom rols-rojsom kojim je lično "pilotirao".
Pridružili su mu se klavijaturista Matthew Johnson (prvi s desna), gitarista Robert Harris (odmah do njega), telohranitelj John Swan (u sredini) i sekretarica Georgina Hamed (koju je telefonski poziv omeo u nameri da napusti putničku kabinu radi ove fotke). Posada Prince Aviationa bila je u sledećem sastavu: Zoran Modli (kapetan) i Siniša Šmitran (kopilot). Nažalost, rečeno nam je da ne vodimo stjuardesu, jer je Jay Kay navodno imao loša iskustva po tom pitanju. Kako mu objasniti da su devojke iz Princ Aviationa miljama daleko od predstave koju je on stekao o stjuardesama?
Naš avion je opremljen, izmedju ostalog, i entertainment sistemom koji, pored mogućnosti da na njemu gledate izabrane filmove, pruža i priliku da pratite maršrutu leta. Naša prva destinacija bio je Keln, a sledećeg dana na red je došao Nirnberg. To su gradovi u kojima je Jamiroquai održao prve velike koncerte u junu.
Ova slika mi je posebno simpatična: nakon što je u Nirnbergu izašao iz aviona, JK je gundjajući povadio sve stvari iz svoje ručne torbice i prosuo ih po platformi aerodroma. Onda je strpljivo, jednu po jednu, pokušavao ponovo da ih ugura u torbu, sve vreme mrmljajući: "Stvarno sam neorganizovan, moram da se organizujem, ovako više ne ide..." Hendlerka sa nirnberškog aerodroma (devojka sa rukama na bokovima) živa se iskidala od smeha.
Insajderska informacija: JK je počeo da uci pilotiranje na helikopteru. Zelena knjiga koju pokušava da ugura u torbicu jeste opšti pilotski priručnik koji je u osnovnoj obuci u letenju koristio i moj kolega Siniša.
Za uspomenu i dugo sećanje: moram priznati da je JK, za razliku od ostalih članova ekipe, u početku bio vrlo rezervisan - valjda dok ne vidi s kim ima posla. Poslednjeg dana se potpuno otkravio, a kada smo konačno ponovo sleteli u London, zatražio mi je vizitku, pošto je, kao, sve bilo super i voleo bi da ga i dalje mi vozimo. Neka tako i bude. Moram priznati da su kao putnici bili zaista cool i strašno disciplinovani, a na svaki let dolazili su u sekund tačno!
Kraj putovanja: posle sletanja na londonski vojni aerodrom Northolt, muzičari se opraštaju od JK-a i Johna. Ovi prvi, sa platforme gde sam parkirao avion, odlaze aerodromskim kombijem, a JK svojim Rollce Royceom, jednim od eksponata iz njegove bogate kolekcije automobila.

WOW! That's my native language! I'm very surprised to see such an article! 
Translation:
Title: Jamiroquai in my airplane
One of the most prestigous foreign Pop bands, Jamiroquai, toured through Europe using an airplane of the Belgrade company Prince Aviation. I was lucky enough to be the pilot of the airplane in which the frontman, Jason Kay, and the other members of the band were using to get from place to place on their 2006 summer tour. Stop #1 was London, and the first of the destinations were the German cities, Köln, and Nünberg (I'm not sure about those names...)
[Photo #1]
As I said earlier, the first stop was London. We came to pick up the passengers on the 2. of june 2006. We landed in Northolt (I think it's spelled that way), a military base southwest of London. The airport is the favorite of many celebs, because it's far away from curious eyes and the press. JK arrived, "Piloting" his Rolls Royce.
[Photo #2]
Shortly after, the keyboardist, Matt Johnson (The guy on the right), the guitarist, Robert Harris (Next to Matt), the bodyguard, John Swan (Middle), and his secretary, Georgina Hamed (Who couldn't come with us to shoot the photo - she was ansering a call) have joined Jason. The crew of the airplane consisted of:
-Zoran Modli (Kapetan);
-Siniša Šmitran (Copilot).
We were told NOT to take a stewardesse with us, because J had a few unpleasant expiriences with those ladies. How could we prove him that the image of the stewardesse known to him is miles away from what they really are.
[Photo #3]
The airplane was also equipped with an entertainment system, which couldn't only play movies, but could also show you the the planned route for the tour. The first destination was Köln, and the next day, it was Nünberg in which they played. Those were the cities in which Jamiroquai have played their first bigger June gigs.
[Photo #4]
This image was very dear to me: After getting out of the airplane in Nünberg, JK threw out all the things out from his travel bag, mumbling something. After doing that, he started to put them back into the bag, saying: "I'm really disorganised - I really need to organise theing better, it can't go on like this anymore...". The girl from the Nünberg airport (The one with the hands on her hips) laughed as if she went crazy.
Insider info: JK started to study piloting helicopters. The green book he tries to push into his bag is the most basic pilot handbook, which was also used by my colleague, Siniša.
[Photo #5]
This'll be a one of my most beautiful memories. I must say that JK, in comparison to other members of the band was really silent in the beginning - probably to see with who he was dealing with. On the last day, he just chilled, and when we finally landed from where we've lifted off, in London, J asked me for a business card, because everything was awesome, and he'd love us to give him a lift again. May that be so. I also must say that as passengers, they were really cool, disciplined people, and that they were never ever late on any takeoff.
[Photo #6]
The end of the trip: After landing where we lifted off from for the first time, the musicians say goodbye to JK and John. The band takes the airport's minibus, and JK goes away in his double-R, a car which is only a small part of his car collection.

Great translation, Knjaz. I love the paragraph:

What experiences could those be? And you've got to admit it's quite sweet that the guy's really concerned with 'righting the wrongs' of Jay's opinions of... um... air stewardesses. That's a lovely image.

I had a laugh at this paragraph as well, to think that Jay DIDN'T want women on the plane is amazing - I could only think of how many times he's joined the 'mile high club' hehe
