I took this picture two days ago from my garden. Its PIA B747-300 flying overhead. It was mid day with blue sky and sun. So why did it turn out so black?? I took it with my D100 in P mode with a 2x converter and a 28-300mm zoomlense, so thats about 900mm.

Simple answer is the picture is underexposed. Either you misset the controls, or more likely atempted to use a setting outside the available range. Eg. perhaps you set a shutter speed of 1/500 which required an aperture of f4. With the convertor attached your lens can give you , say, f8 at best - result 2 stop underexposure.
Ooops - just saw you used P mode, so camera should have juggled things correctly. Possibly the convertor is "invisible" to the camera (can't sense its there) so doesn't correctly factor in the 2 stop compensation required. I have seen this happen with 3rd party lenses.

Yes, it is obviously underexposed, I would rather know what meetering mode was used. Spot, center, matrix, etc..... that is what caused the underexposure. Meetering mode is what part of the frame the camera is basing it's exposure decisions on.
