Qantas Boeing 747-400 VH-OJT retired

And then there were nine.

The Qantas Boeing 747-400/400ER fleet is down to single digits after the retirement of VH-OJT.

The aircraft named Fraser Island operated its last revenue service in Qantas colours on Saturday September 22, when it took off from Brisbane as QF55.

Airlines don't seem to like vision (pics/video) of their branded aircraft being ripped apart during scrapping.

You mean airline (Qantas) dont seem to like vision, given pretty much every other aircraft is branded at Mojave!

Contrary to my previous posts regarding B747 retirement, it appears that OEI will in fact be going for a D-Check in October at some point!
