Rowan,

OJH is not heading to VCV, she's going to MZJ.

I would assume the time in LA is for crew rest hours.

Cheers

OJH is leased so this is reason for her Mojave home. Owned aircraft usually go to Victorville.

Since we are this far along with the 744 retirement, i thought i would put a list of where the retired aircraft have gone so far. Please correct me if i have any wrong.

VCV MZJ

OED OJR
OEC OJG
OJB OJH
OJF
OJK (Got Sold i think)
OJN

The 747 retirement schedule might get a slow up with QF35/36 MEL-SIN being added to the schedule commencing March next year and operated by a 747.

That's good news as far as I'm concerned.
Also I wasn't aware that QF5/6 will run till Oct 2013, I thought it was ending in March and I'm pleasantly surprised that QF51/52 service will remain,or have I read that wrong?

The 744 returns to MEL!!

Any chance of posting a screenshot of that, mate? Can't seem to get it on f/aware. Thank you.
