I note that OJA had some recent paint preservation work done. It may be for a nice retirement, hopefully at Longreach?

I think somehow this may not be right. I was certain OJJ was always slated being 04/13 as per the info Dave has previously given. This would make more sense,given the changes from 31 March,so unless something has drastically changed,I reckon not.
I also heard that OJD was supposed to be retired on 9 Jan this year....go figure.

If OJD is going tomorrow,its going to have an early morning hop up to BNE...

VH-OJD should leave SYD at 0905 for a positioning flight to BNE. It will then do its last commercial sector as the QF 15 BNE LAX and thence to VCV the next day.

Hey Fred,have you got any info on OJJ?
Thanks for the update on OJD

Cheers

It could still be going at the date you've just given. Aircraft always change their schedule as previously said.. OJJ is scheduled to go into disposal after this flight, unless needed as a spare just like OJD a few weeks ago. Jim, I'll PM you.

OJD is on its way to BNE now as QF6013.

[Rowan McKeever]

And is now in BNE...

Great to see her operate her final service out of the city she's named for.

[Ben W]

Can anyone in Bris get a picture of her leaving OZ for the last time?

Rumour has it that VH-OJJ is due to leave on the 14th of March.. let's hope not!
