QF 744 maintenance
 

Just curious as to whether Qantas has any 747's offshore for heavy maintenance at the moment?

I asked because I noticed VH-OJA hasn't been on 16right ACARS since last year, assume it's overseas in a hangar?

OJA did a flight to melbourne on sunday morning.

I just noticed the ACARS archive on that site isn't updated regularly

my bad!

Apologies guys, missed my reminder, just updated the history.

But it does look like OJA may have been down in Avalon during January.

2009-02-08 08:53:00 VH-OJA B747-438 QF6018 Qantas ** Route Unknown **
2009-02-03 16:05:00 VH-OJA B747-438 QF6196 Qantas Avalon-Sydney
2008-12-28 08:14:00 VH-OJA B747-438 QF6195 Qantas Sydney-Avalon

Grahame,

I previously queried the ID of a B747-400 seen by me outside the Avalon hangar at 1100 hrs on Dec 28th.

It looks like it was VH-OJA and it arrived an hour or so before me.

( I forgot my binoculars )

I am pretty sure I saw OJA in Sydney during the spotting weekend.
