Hi All,
Can anyone please advise how Qantas decides which a/c stays and which ones retire. I ask this as they seem be retiring a/c regos all over the place - not in order. I would have thought that OJA being the oldest would go first, but that isn't the case. Stuart

Probably which ones approaching a heavy check (D-check?) first?

Just for your info,if you read right through this thread and some others about OJR,I think some of what you are asking has been addressed. Michael is right about aircraft approaching D checks,but I believe it is also to do with the different leasing arrangements and the associated costs with that,as well as the aircraft's number of cycles. Cheers Jim

OJG has been moved overnight - it is now along the fence at the JetBase enterance so it is very prominent if you are driving along QF Drive.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong,by all means,but I think this will be the first QF 744 to Marana since OJR left our shores.
Thanks for the info Luke Jim

Hi Fred
Would that be the first Qantas aircraft to have flown 100,000 hours ? I know that many have made it to the "nervous 90s" but I think this may be the first to hit the ton. I've tried to keep a list of high time B747s which I collate from various sources. I know that it is far from complete but I think the former B747-206B, N730SA c/n 22380 l/n 0539 of Southern Air Transport is the world's high time B747 with 127,867 hours. And my list has more than 20 B747s with more than 100,000 hours. I'd be intersted if anyone can help me add to the list. Cheers Bob
