That’s what QF said! BTW the aircraft has been sold to South America.

Was under the belief they’d been procured by GE for their CF6-80C2 for B767’s, can’t remember if they were for spares pool or installing on newly delivered factory aircraft. Could’ve been for FedEx planes??

Same as the engines coming off the KLM 744’s, those GE engines are in high demand for 76’s.

Not sure if that was the case with -OEF.

Despite the rumours re GE my info turned out to be correct N329ZA (ex Wunala Dreaming VH-OEJ) is being converted to a freighter, owned by KALITTA AIR LLC which are not South American

Just got an email from Qantas re the 747 farewell flight in Sydney this Monday. Pre-flight brunch in the Qantas Club and upon return the plane will go into a hanger where we will disembark and have the opportunity to see the aircraft up close and take photos. Wow! So pleased I was able to score a ticket. Hope the rather dire weather forecast doesn't stop the flight.

Enjoy, sounds like a lot of fun. As it turns out my last 747 flight was 8 or so hours in 5b on VH-OJU in Sept last year from HND, great flight and glad she is carrying on as the RR test bed.

STD from gate 10 shortly. VH-TCN looks to be positioning to film the takeoff.
