VH-OJA has 104,080 hours on her! VH-OJL will be doing the QF107 on the 26th May as her last commercial flight. Then off to Victorville for a break.

Can anyone confirm the 3 B744s to be retired this year will be OJL, OJA, and OJI?

That will leave the 9 newer upgraded B744s as well as OEB, OJM in the fleet.

Thanks

G'day Todd,

I fuelled you up on Monday night, 113.7 was pretty high for Narita, was it unusually high load factor or were you guys expecting weather at Narita ?

Cheers
Brad

From QFSource

QANTAS B747-400 VH-OJL Prepares to Leave Fleet.
May 17, 2014
QANTAS Boeing 747-438 VH-OJL entered the Sydney Jetbase this morning after arriving as QF6 from Singapore. The aircraft will have parts swapped out before operating QF107 Sydney – Los Angeles on 26th May where the aircraft will be withdrawn from service before continuing on to Victorville on 27th May. As a result there is no QF16 Los Angeles – Brisbane service on 26th May.
