QF73 normally departs @ 1300.

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?

Is VH-OEB the next QF 744 to retire or will one of the S,T,U's be next?

Zac M 26th July 2017 12:34 PM

OEB is due for retirement next, I believe when the first 787 is delivered but dont quote me on that!

NathanJ 26th July 2017 01:01 PM

OEB isn't expected to leave til mid next year as far as these articles are concerned...

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.:D

Another data point is ZXE when she left, 55124 hours and 33764 cycles.
