Yes, OJM has completed its last landing in SYD. One more revenue flight to SFO at 1300 on Sun 30th July.

Thanks for the photos on SYD Airport Facebook Nigel.

OJM has accumulated around 13750 Landings and 117280 Hours. I think the hours are a record for a QF aircraft, certainly the highest on the 747 fleet.

Thanks Fred. I'm glad you, and around 1900+ others 'liked' them!

That's a pretty impressive number of landings and hours!
Out of interest, what would the landings totals be for the high frequency domestic B737's once they retire?

I doubt it will change the schedule but with OQCs woes in Dubai there is a bit of a hole in the schedule at present, with OQK in Manilla.

The 300 freighters have about 45000 landings on them.
The early 800's have exceeded OJM's total landings by 10000, however only half the hours.
