Thanks Fred, much appreciated.

Take this with a pinch of salt but there is a thread over at airliners.... that Canadian LCC, WestJet is taking 4 ex QF B763's which will be refurbished them before entering service.

VH-OGG departed about midday today bound for LAX as QF6021 with an all female crew receiving a water canon salute.

Ahhh the first aircraft I ever jumpseated on !

According to skyliners-aviation.de VH-OGK was WFU after operating QF462 last Thursday, 7th of August and will ferry to VCV soonish.

How many does leave as active in the fleet now ?

I get 10 plus the freighter (-EFR):

-OGI, -OGJ, -OGL, -OGM, -OGN, -OGO, -OGR, -OGS, -OGT, -OGU

Looking through all the -OGx on flightaware there's a fair bit of slack in some of their flying... mightn't be too long before the next one is on its way out?

Are the new B738's and returning A330's taking up the B767 services ?

Sure, the water cannon salutes look nice, but it's just a retiring 767. Maybe the last one deserves one.

Sydney's going to run out of water by the time the remaining Qantas fleet that's due for retirement leaves our shores.

VH-OGK is due to leave our shores on Friday 15th at 1115.
