QF 767-300ER Retirement Plan

[Andrew Coggan]

VH-OGS is apparently being withdrawn tonight and will be stored at ASP.

[Mark Grima]

ASP? Interesting, none of the others are there, correct??

Many reasons of course that she'll be getting stored there, however it'll be nice if its because she'll end up in Longreach.

I think the earlier consensus was that the 4 intl config 767's will be stored at ASP as they are ultimately going to WestJet.

[Rowan McKeever]

OGR has been there for a while and yes, as Daniel says, most of us believe the four 'international' configured birds are destined for Westjet next year.

QANTAS B767-300ER VH-OGS Withdrawn.
October 31, 2014
QANTAS Boeing 767-338ER VH-OGS was withdrawn from service tonight after arriving as QF494 from Melbourne. The aircraft was in 25J/204Y configuration and QANTAS New ‘Roo livery on withdrawal. This brings the Boeing 767-300ER fleet down to six aircraft

While I'm sure there are some who think the entire Qantas fleet need's to be parked out in Longreach, maybe a couple of points worth noting:

1. There's no room for anything else.
2. The 767 while with Qantas for a long time, served no significant milestone like the 707 and 747 did.

Perhaps the aircraft can be lined up nose to tail from Ilfracombe to Longreach as they're retired. What a sight that would be driving into Longreach. ��

Not the entire fleet, just one of each.

Here's OGR today... Will see if I can get some more when OGS arrives.
