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 (http://www.brusselsairport.be/en/cargo/flinfo/)
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.

:O Oops, brain failure by HT (well it was early by my standards) ;) Cargo flight, of course!

One just flew over the top of London (KFA206), descending towards Belgium if anyone is interested :8

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 ?
