Martinair DC-10-30CF flight from Amsterdam to Marrakesh

[joscyriacv2]

Good day friends.
After a short break due to my classes and exams, I found time to fly a flight. This time it was a charter flight on Martinair Holland's DC-10-30CF PH-MBP.
Departure: Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam (EHAM/AMS)
Arrival: Marrakesh, Morocco (GMMX/RAK)

Started engines. Ready for taxi



Rolling for takeoff


Gear up


Climbout over the Netherlands






Mountains of Spain.


Coastal plains of Morocco

Deserts of Morocco


On final approach.

Rollout

The flight was uneventful. Fuel and route planning was done on simbrief.com. The actual fuel burn was only 300kgs different from planned.
The flight was performed for Air France Virtual Airlines live on VATSIM and PIREP can be found here: www.afva.net/pirep.do?id=0x2e01a
Thank You.

Very nice screenies! Glad you are enjoying this livery, one of my favorites!!!

He might like to consider doing a similar historic route re-enactment using your "recently/just upgraded" MARTINAIR HOLLAND DC-8-55F Jim .... and also using our new V6.1 DC-8-55F Aircraft Base Pack/Model, with our
DC-8-50 panel, and also Benoit's customized DC-8-50 P&W JT3D-3B fanjet sound pack too

Sure I'm, Jim. I love Martinair and I wish they still existed in their original form. Your livery has a slight typo error though. The registration is incorrectly shown as PH-MPB. Also it's missing the plane's name: HONGKONG. These are nothing of consequence though and the livery is beautiful. One of the best liveries i ever saw was on a MPH MD-11 named "Prinses Maxima". She had beautiful roses all over her.

Martinair schedules are unavailable on the internet for me to perform a route re-enactment but then these guys were charter operators so I guess I could fly them pretty much anywhere I like. The DC-8 could be put on a Hajj charter to Indonesia like MP138 which crashed in Ceylon; or a holiday charter to Cairo.

Nice screenshots thanks for sharing them

The registration is incorrectly shown as PH-MPB. Also it's missing the plane's name: HONGKONG.

I presume it's the DC-10 .... and "NOT" the DC-8 we're talking about here .... right ?

I also presume the registration should then read "PH-MBP" .... right ?

According to the following photos though it seems -MBP didn't always support a name, so, Jim's reproduction appears to be "quite correct" for what seems to be the very late 70's through very early 90's era ....

1978


1991


1992 .... with name


During 1985 -MBP was operated by MARTINAIR for AIR SEYCHELLES and did supported "a name" .... but .... it doesn't look like "Hong Kong" (hard to read) despite the fact production records indicate this aircraft carried that name from the time of it's 1976 delivery and until at least the time of its 1978 lease to GARUDA .... and it's 1979 lease to PHILIPPINE AIRLINNES ....

1979 PHILIPPINE AIRLINES .... no name


www.aussieairliners.org/dc-10os/netherlands/phmbp.html

1985 AIR SEYCHELLES .... with name




"IF" .... Jim wishes to edit the registration then I can get a new file up. Sometimes it's easy to do this .... other times not so. "THIS" particular prospect (plus another which I'll run past Jim if he's interested) is one that runs into "e-a-s-y street".

I had a quick look and couldn't find anything definitive either

The DC-8 could be put on a Hajj charter to Indonesia like MP138 which crashed in Ceylon; or a holiday charter to Cairo.

Jeddah/Saudi Arabia seems to have been the final destination for FLT 138 as a Hadj Service from operating Surabaya/Indonesia, but, your right that the accident happen during approach to it's Colombo stopover ....

That's the story .... let the imagination take over and then go with the flow

Just "avoid the "PRANG"

Nice screenshot images of the Martinair DC-10-30CF. One of the Photo's of 1978 shows the aircraft at the old Terminal One at Toronto International Airport with  what appears to be a Wardair DC-10.

with what appears to be a Wardair DC-10

"B747-200" .... judging from the flap boats on the wing trailing edge visible lower within that photo

Yes OK. One of the folks standing on the roof top could have been me as I spent many hours taking photos and videos from Terminal One which no longer exists.
My first attempt at videography. No HD cameras then.
