Kelowna Flightcraft Air Charter DC10

Pretty annoyed I just missed the Kelowna Flightcraft Air Charter DC10 going over my head from Brussels across the Atlantic.

Does anyone have a timetable for when this beast arrives in brussels? Like what day, what time, etc. I don't want to miss it again.

It is supposed to operate eastbound out of Toronto on Sun / Tue / Wed / Thu and turn-around in Brussels for an afternoon return. But so far they have only managed flghts on the 31st May, 4th and 7th June ( today! gah ).

They were trying to arrange a lie-over crew in Brussels but I don't know if that's in place yet.

Check fr24.com/data for a/c C-GKFD and C-GKFT and you should be able to see the timings.

Eastbound routing of KFA206 is now established as Toronto-Pearson ( CYYZ ) to Greater Moncton ( CYQM ) and then Brussels. Usually follows airway UL9 over the southermost tip of Ireland.

Westbound is KFA203 directly from Brussels to Toronto-Pearson. Has occasionally routed over Northern Ireland, usualy only on Sundays ( for some reason! ).

Strangely, there's no mention of this flight on BRU's arrivals board, nor its departures either.

FR24 said it was going from Moncton to Brussels. Take a look - dial up 10.00 GMT and watch it come over Southampton and then all points east.

That might be due to the fact that it's a cargo flight, either that or they've got cheap fares for the majority and those with a window pay for the flight

Should have appeared on the cargo sub-board:

Brussels Airport Website: Cargo Arrivals

At least Brussels and Amsterdam provide cargo movement details, even if hidden a bit on their sites. British airports refuse to provide information about them, presumably to avoid confusing passengers who would like to fly to Liege or Cologne...

Which is a shame because getting-up early in the Summer is well worth it to see the old birds.

One just flew over the top of London (KFA206), descending towards Belgium if anyone is interested

Well, it was just a white fuselaged 3-holer, but bearing in mind how rare these are now it made me check out what it was. Apart from Martinair's MD11's and Fedex's MD11's I don't think that there are many more ex-MD products flying in or over Europe these days ?
