"Early morning moon crossing. Coming back from The States going to Prague. Maybe the "once in a lifetime-shot"
I thought a A310 was a short-haul plane (!) Is it a long-haul??
I thought: A310/18/19/20/21 shorthaul, and 30 and further longhaul?
Further I was looking at http://www.schiphol.nl and I looked at the departure times from 0.00 till 10.00. Except 3 flights, every flight went to a city in Europe. Is there a special reason that there aren't departing long haul flights in the morning? But if you look at the arrivals from 0.00 till 10.00, you almost only see plane's coming in from out of Europe. So is there a sort of "wide body time" at AMS and/or at other airports? If so, is there a reason for this?
One of those 3 flights was K8 2000 to Curacao. Departed 10.05. PLane: MD-11.
I thought that DCA did not have any plane's any more? Hundreds of people were even stuck at Curacao and in the Netherlands. Where did they get the MD11 from?

Airbus build very versatile planes - the A310 is certainly a longhauler (and even the A320 has been used trans-Atlantic by Scandinavian charter airlines, albeit with a fuel stop halfway to Florida). CSA use it across the pond and to the Far East, ditto Tarom til recently, Kenya AW to Europe (and other African airlines to Europe, Sudan, Somali among them), PIA fly A310s from Pakistan to London and even Pakistan to the US via Birmingham and Manchester. Great aircraft.
Yes! Senator Obama. We are ready to believe again.
