Heads up for all you OOL guys, QF charter mid Feb, 767.

Aircraft will route BNE-OOL-PER-OOL-BNE, 20th Feb. 7.20am arr into OOL, 8.20am dep.

Rare movement at OOL! We haven't had a 767 in since that random NZ 763 operated a scheduled flight in ?2009? And a QF 767 hasn't been seen here for ages!

So a good photo op for OOL spotters.

BNE-OOL on a 767 would be pretty fun!

Brock Little · #3 29th January 2011, 01:02 PM

It would be!

Jack B · #4 29th January 2011, 06:21 PM

Scheduled as a 767GE or 767RR?

Brock Little · #5 29th January 2011, 07:02 PM

No info on that as of yet.

A BNE to OOL flight would hardly have any time to climb to cruising altitude be only around a ten min flight.

It will only maintain (most likely) 6,000ft

I remember as a kid flying betwwen OOL and BNE on an Ansett 737. I'm fairly sure this was back in the days where Tasmanian school holiday-timed flights would fly OOL-BNE-LST-HBA. It was a very short flight to BNE! On arrival in LST, half the passengers would disembark and the rest would continue on the very short flight down to HBA.

The aircraft operating the flight was VH-OGQ. Her new colours looked nice in the morning sun!
