PH-OFL - soon?
And its planned delivery is at December 24th; it's an ex Pelita (like the other two that will be delivered soon) and was stored at Dinard since June.flying_kiwi wrote:This should be the 11444 which was delivered to AMS on Saturday as the SXA544, reg F-OORG.richarduk wrote: KLM Cityhopper

Note I said it was delivered to AMS last Saturday, it might have still needed to go into the paintshop, and might not be ready for use until the 24th, but it most definately arrived in AMS on the 10th.akarssen wrote: And its planned delivery is at December 24th; it's an ex Pelita (like the other two that will be delivered soon) and was stored at Dinard since June.
Two ex ACA pax 747's are going to be converted by IAI/Bedek for an Asian customer. All converted freighters for MPH will be Boeing converted according to the same source.76-er wrote:Guggenheim has several 747 pax-to-freighter conversersion orders, both with Boeing and Bedek.
That's what I meant. It arrived in basic Pelita c/s no tit with reg F-OORG under SXA flight number; Will be painted in the next days and delivered to KLM in full c/s. Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I definitely did not disagree with you; it was meant as an addition.flying_kiwi wrote:Note I said it was delivered to AMS last Saturday, it might have still needed to go into the paintshop, and might not be ready for use until the 24th, but it most definately arrived in AMS on the 10th.akarssen wrote: And its planned delivery is at December 24th; it's an ex Pelita (like the other two that will be delivered soon) and was stored at Dinard since June.

According to what I've heard two have already found a new home... Don't have any info regarding the registrations but we can safely assume it isn't the -BUH !cHabu wrote:Haven't heard any news 'bout this. Perhaps anyone from MPH with inside info on this ?HV7572KC wrote:Is there already a new boss for the MP 747s? Think the -BUH will go to Mojave directly, but the -200's...

76-er,SEATTLE, Oct. 18, 2005 -- Guggenheim Aviation Partners has ordered two 747-400 Boeing Converted Freighter combi-to-freighter conversions. Both deliveries will take place in 2008, according to an agreement signed by Guggenheim and Boeing.
Guggenheim previously ordered five 747-400BCF passenger-to-freighter conversions. Boeing launched the Boeing Converted Freighter program for passenger conversions in 2004; it was known as the 747-400 Special Freighter program until recently. A Boeing-approved modification facility will convert the airplanes, a process that Boeing's Commercial Aviation Services unit will manage....{snip, if you want to read the whole article, click link above}
I was of the understanding that only the conversions done by a Boeing approved facility were considered to be BCF's. And at the moment, TAECO is the only Boeing approved location for BCF conversions as noted at the bottom ofthis article.MP744SF wrote: 76-er,
Sorry to say but all 744 pax-to-freighter conversions are Boeing Cenverted Freighters as it is Boeing that has done the engineering for the conversion and has requested type certification for the 'new' type. That the actual modification is done by Bedek or TAECO (http://www.boeing.com/commercial/news/2 ... 9b_nr.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) or some other Boeing-approved modification facility does not matter.
