  • A evening with Debra (56k)

    Everyone, meet Debra, shes about 260,000lbs, shes pushing around 30 years, and shes a hard worker, and she comes from the McDonnell Douglas Family.

    Yes, Debra is a plane, a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30F.

    Leased from AC to do cargo runs from YYZ to YHZ, to Vitoroa Spain (VIT) , then off to Frankfort (FRT) and back to YYZ to do it all over again, this route is supposed to be used by a MD-11F but tonite, Gemini ferryed up a DC-10 from MIA. This thing had jack ---- in it so it was obviously empty. So in 30 minutes, this bad boy would be fully loaded with fish and lobster headed off to Vitoria.

    Aircraft: McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30F
    REG: Unknown?
    Fin#: 616
    Arrived: MIA
    Destination: VIT
    Load: Fresh Hake and Lobster
    Weight: 62,000 Kilos or around 150,000lbs (Lighter than usual)
    Crew: 6 man
    Engines: GE CF6-50C1 @ 52,200lbs thrust


    A shot that I didnt intend it to turn out this way but oh well, it looks neat.


    My Fathers Work Station, Load Planner. Most it will ever get used.


    Got the vests on, Father talking to one of the workers in the warehouse. Those containers are the mysterious LD3-45's which go into the belly of the A320's.


    The other Van infront of us, full of cargo emplyees. so was ours. Were drving out to what used to be the G7 Pad, now its the new concourse for AC Jazz, offering 12 gates or somehting like that. When the concourse is finished, thell take it up to behind cargo.


    Another view, and a view of the rampies on the other side, readt to charge the DC-10 and turn it around.


    Here she comes! (BTW, it sounded exactly like one of the soundsets on FS)


    Taxing up.


    RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT. Complete stop.


    Tail shot.


    Cargo door open, and the bridge is up. Bridge connects the Loader to the plane.


    Everyones favorite (atleast on VATSIM) AC861 sitting here doing something. It was delayed in YYT due to mechanical.


    The ERJ145XR that sits here overnight with a AA ERJ140, its smaller family member.


    The large CF6.


    Thermal wraping on the Lobster and Hake.

    Anyway thats the pics!

    I apologize for some bad cameramanship in some shots, but thats the best I can do with my Camera.

    Im trying to get some shots of the MD-11F when it comes in. Hope you enjoyed them!

            I like her. She's in about the right age group for me. Am I correct in assuming she flies into Frankfurt (FRA) and not Frankfort after she's been in Spain?
