Bring the City of Calgary to Calgary
A local aviation videographer created this video on the weekend, as part of a group effort to have PH-BFC deployed to YYC before its retirement. Even picked up by the NL sites!

"Sinds de ingebruikname van het toestel in 1989 is de PH-BFC nog nooit in Calgary geweest."
In the Good Old Days KL would fly aircraft to the city they were named after to be christened with champagne. I'll post some stuff in the Memorabilia thread when I get around to it.

"Zo'n eenmalige vlucht heeft een te grote impact op de rest van onze vlootoperatie. Op Calgary vliegen andere types toestellen. Als we de 747-400 inzetten dan duperen wij te veel passagiers op onze andere lijnvluchten."
Yes, the B747 uses more fuel. And yes, it probably will be half empty. So I do understand that they don't want to do it - but not for the reasons they mention.
