well, they're not all going to be engine test beds.

None of them I suspect, sold for the engines, GE already has a 744 test bed. Some news outlets are quoting Mr Joyce as saying only five are going to GE, which is interesting given the pilot of the joyflights said the last plane was going for a cargo conversion.

OEJ has made its final flight into retirement at MHV as QF7474 on 24/7

End of an era and very sad.
