QANTAS B747-400 VH-OJA Stored at Los Angeles.
December 7, 2014

QANTAS Boeing 747-438 VH-OJA operated QF107 Sydney - Los Angeles today. The aircraft had originally been scheduled to be withdrawn after this flight and position to Victorville for storage. However it is now expected to be preserved at the Historical Aircraft Restoration Facility at Wollongong. An additional QF18 Los Angeles – Sydney sector has now been scheduled for 18th December, and the aircraft is expected to operate that flight prior to withdrawal.

Here's idea on the 18th December when VH-OJA flys QF18, if VH-OQA is at LAX as well and went back to SYD as QF12 as the same time as VH-OJA,
How about a formation flight LAX-SYD with VH-OJA and VH-OQA.
That's QF's First B747-438 and QF's First A380-800 flying together LAX-SYD.
Just a thought

I love that idea. Bring it on!

If you caught the flight to LA as the last rev service you wouldn't be a happy camper !

[Ryan K]

My sentiments exactly.

Do people really do that? I can understand the last of a type, but for an individual aeroplane?

[David Heath]

Well in the case of OJA I can understand that, the thought crossed my mind. (but too much work to be done). Also, all those posts of pics from last Sunday now aren't true

thanks Alex,

Methinks it is either OJG or OJJ based on the date/location

Can anyone identify ?
