A milestone was recently reached at Qantas , with B747-400 VH-OJG reaching a record 100,000 flight hours.
B747-438 registered as VH-OJG first flew on 11 July 1990 at Paine Field , Everett. After 4 Boeing test flights and 2 Qantas Customer Acceptance flights,it was accepted by Qantas on 15 August 1990 in Las Vegas, Nevada. VH-OJG was the 7th 747-400 to be purchased by Qantas and the 801st B747 built by Boeing at the Everett factory in Washington State. On 19 May 2012 it achieved 100,000 flying hours, operating the QF24 service between Bangkok and Sydney. It ceased revenue operations on 20 July 2012 and was prepared for return to the lessor on 14 August, 1 day short of its 22nd birthday.The aircraft departed Sydney on 21 august 2012 at 13:25 on its final flight to Marana in Arizona. It arrived at Marana having accrued 100,612 air hours and 12,489 cycles making it the highest time aircraft to have operated in the Qantas fleet. Over it’s 22 year operational life VH-OJG has flown an average of 12.5 hours per day, accumulated a total of 100,612 flight hours and 12,489 flight cycles.Carrying over 3.8 million passengers,VH-OJG has travelled over 85 million kilometres,which is equivalent of 110 return trips to the moon ! |

What a SAD photo that is!! Can't believe it. They are too good an aircraft to end up like that.
