My travel kit is the 5D2/7D and the 17-40/24-105 and 70-200F2.8LIS and 1.4x. Covers everything i want or need. If im on a shooting trip then the 100-400 gets thrown in the bag too.
Nothing beats shooting at the airport with a 5D2 and 70-200F2.8LIS/1.4x with a 7D and 100-400 on the over shoulder. Gets 99% of what i need to shoot.

Seems that great minds think alike ...
Next after the TC will be ... perhaps ... a EOS 5DIII, or however it will be called

You copied me didn't you
That's my travel set up...10-22, 24-105 and 70-200 + 1.4x
Covers 90% of things I find.

Plus a 1-D MkII and a 7D
a dreamy combination

Pushing a film - shooting at a different ISO speed than that on the film and correcting in developing, (and no i did not google that)
Despite getting into photography well into the digital age, i went from a digital point n shoot to a film SLR and did a couple of courses. It helped me immeasurably and also kickstarted shooting well beyond planes.
And Jan, yes its your life and your money, but of the things you listed, a 70-200 fits the non aviation side of what you shoot much better than a 100-400, plus you'd get to buy your 1.4x TC and still get decent results.

Regarding TC, I decided to get a TC (Kenko 1.4 most probably) for travellng around. My main lenses are Canon 10-22, 24-105 IS, 100-400 IS and 70-200, f/2.8 IS. On a spotting trip, I always have my complete lens set. So I can have the 24-105 on my 20D and either the 70-200 or the 100-400 on the 40D, depending on the needed zoom range.
On holidays I try to reduce the baggage to a minimum. As I simply adore the 70-200, I decided to travel around with my 24-105, 70-200 and to get a 1.4 TC for the extra reach on teh 70-200. Perhaps I also carry around the 10-22 for the extra effects.

I could be takling nonsense and think I know everything (I do not).

It's when it's used with other lenses that things start to fall apart in terms of IQ and AF. The way I'm seeing it here is that Jan's busy telling us how great the 1.4x is with a 100-400 when in actual fact the 100-400 becomes a beast to use and you really have to slow down alot and think hard to get decent results from it, largely using manual AF or if you have AF, it's very hit and miss and slow. It's really not ideal, but then again 13 yr old photographers seem to know best these days!
