A high time engine to be fitted. A few other bits are being swapped too.

So unlikely to fly again then, other than to position to her forever home?

Qantas issued a press release on the 22/ Jan which has now been withdrawn with a promise of a further release on the 30 Jan . In the original it stated that OJA will be donated to HARS and that delivery would be in early March , with the aim of officially handing over the aircraft on 15 March to coincide with the HARS open day ..

If rumours are true we might have to start a QF B744 reactivation thread, with 2 rumoured to be coming out of VCV for the VYR flights and possible new and returning routes.
I'm sure others might be able to confirm or deny. |
I read this on another forum (airliners.net) and apparently there is significant cost in reactivating any of the parked aircraft.
|
Not only that the ones that were choose to go into retirement were done so based on how far they were off needing a major check, so an added cost there too.

This is great news for HARS, the Illawarra and aviation enthusiasts in general - I plan to be there for the arrival, what an amazing event it will be.
