Oliver,

If you read your source correctly you will find that the times quoted are for the Melbourne flight. In a sperate section it states that Sydney will get 2 flights a week.

Thursday's CVG (Cincinnati)-HNL-SYD-HKG.

ETA 1710
ETD 1940

Sunday's CVG-HNL-SYD-MEL-HKG.

ETA SYD 1710
ETD SYD 1940 (departs to melbourne)
ETA MEL 2115
ETD MEL 2315

The first service is today and is inbound to Sydney as PAC242 , due just after 6:00pm.

The Sydney only service begins today and the Melbourne leg version begins on the 15th July.

This is exciting - at least for me as I have never seen a Polar Air Cargo live. I know they were servicing SYD back before.

I can only catch the Sunday service (unless chucking a sickie on Thurs), so I hope it will be on time re: ETA @ 17.10PM on Sundays. I anticipate nice, late afternoon light. Any delays though will be challenging for non tripod spotters like me. :D

Cheers,



HB

I think that was my info on another board Oliver.

Yes Stefan one flight to MEL and 2 to SYD however from NW 12 both flights also operate to MEL as well as SYD.

i AM GLAD IT IS HAPPENING. :)

I wonder if any of the older pilots still use 'Polar Tiger ***' as the callsign?

[David C]

FR24 is showing it as N451PA ..

Perhaps one to look out for in the not too distant future.

it was said that this aircraft was to be on the Sydney route in early FEB!

Looks good, I reckon all the hybrid livery's with DHL logo on the back look good..

[Julian C]

What happened here?... did Polar can it as soon as they started the service or did the whole thing stall???

[Brian Wilkes]

What are you talking about?

[Paul f.]

K tks guys, I've yet to see em!

[Peter Agatsiotis]

N416MC is operating the PAC202 today, should be landing soon.

[Shayne G]

Interestingly the Polar Air Cargo 747-400F N416MC that arrived as PAC202, instead of going to Hong Kong is heading to Christchurch as GTI8118 just now. It is arriving a bit after 1am local time.
