NWA DC-10 at EWR Aug/12

[FlyingColors]

Was driving pass EWR yesterday and saw it.

The only flight info I could find is NWA 9849 from Schiphol.

Not sure if it was a charter.

Can anyone else tell me more about the flight?
Thanks

Might have been a sub for KLM?

no the KLM flight ran today as an A-330 it was probably a charter flight of some sort

Looks like it was a charter from Alexandria via Schipol.

Alexandria Egypt? I would say maybe cruise ship charter but then they could have flown them back to the US nonstop.

I'm thinking maybe it was a military charter.

N226NW flew from AMS to EWR on the 12th and then flew to BCN carrying the F.C. Barcelona futbal team. She departed later for MSP.

Hey thanks all for the reply.

How do you come up with such answers?! Great job.

Wish I could have tracked this one on arrival and get a picture :(

It was quiet a surprise in BCN.

That makes sense, FC Barcelona played the Red Bulls at the Meadowlands on Saturday night. Apparently drew a big crowd! Still wonder why it was coming from Alexandria though.

That was a previous charter flight, probably for the military.
