Just spotted on FlightRadar, a Kalitta Air 742 is on its way to Sydney from Bahrain as CKS9575, rego N794CK. Anyone know what it's doing here?

[Grahame Hutchison]

On approach ...

Kalitta have been making appearances here at this time of the year since 2011. It's the changing of the season, so it might be something to do with winter preparations in Afghanistan (and now possibly Iraq and Syria)? It's only a guess....or I may be completely off the mark!

Clive Palmer's VP-CFP Cessna 750 Citation X (though registered to Queensland Nickel Pty Ltd) was due to depart Wagga a short time ago, but running behind schedule, for Bankstown. Has been repainted at Douglas Aerospace.

[Jaryd stock]

Pretty spot on Nigel.

[Nigel C]

It looks like the Kalitta Air movements are continuing on a daily basis for now from Kabul via Delhi. They were in the past 2 days, and another one is due this afternoon at 1505. http://www.sydneyairport.com.au/flights/flight-arrivals-and-departures/airport-visit-planner/kabul/k49578/0 It's listed as a T2 movement according to the link, so it will probably end up at either Bay 93A or Dom-6 as they're the closest B747 capable bays.

[Jaryd stock]

Until September 5th isn't it, usually going on 77?

[Nigel C]

Not sure Jaryd, but enjoy the B742 while you can because Kalitta are apparently looking to retire them over the next year.

[James S.]

Until September 5th isn't it, usually going on 77?
Correct. And to answer the question about the 742's, if they end up operating next year you can expect to probably see the same two rego's. They're not all going to be gone.
