Cargolux to start Weekly Sydney Service

[Stefan Perkas]

It is showing in their schedules doing ORD-SYD. It is due to arrive into SYD at 1700 tomorrow afternoon.

However it will most probably go ORD-HNL-SYD. SO it may arrive the same time as last weeks flight at 2250.

Fligt number is CV659.

Perhaps they may be going by the schedule I obtained and posted earlier:

CV6595 – arrives into SYD at 18:00 (LUX – HKG – JFK – ORD – SYD)

CV7716 – departs SYD at 20:00 (SYD – LAX – ORD - LUX)

Maybe keep an eye on http://flightaware.com/live/flight/CLX659 and http://flightaware.com/live/flight/CLX771

Afternoon all,

Cargolux 659 is currently is currently scheduled to go Chicago-Honolulu.http://flightaware.com/live/flight/CLX659

I dare say it will be an early arrival into Sydney tomorrow morning. That is a prediction not 100%.

[Brad Varney]

If the aircraft hasn't even arrived in HNL yet, or crossed the American border, it's nearly impossible for it to arrive here by 11pm. Hope to see it tomorrow.

[Shayne G]

Anyone know the rego? Seems to be a mystery.

[Grahame Hutchison]

The aircraft left Chicago for Honolulu 23 minutes ago.

There is no "nearly impossible" about it Brad. It would take about 12-15 hours for a non-stop West Coast of America-Australia flight depending on winds and loads and thats not even accounting for the stop in HNL.

If there were afterburner engines for a 747 it would've been possible.

We can only dream....

Seriously tho, i cannot WAIT to see a 748 in real life.

As a side point, i've always wondered why the 747-4F's had a shorter 'bubble' than the passenger versions.

Anyone know???
