QF 767-300ER Retirement Plan

[Alex Lui]

Just did a bit of a search... Updated in April on Speednews.com, the rest QF 767 fleet is listed for sale, except OGJ and OGK. I am assuming that these two maybe owned by QF, hence the last to retire??

Just spotted on FlightRadar24 and confirmed on FlightAware, OGH is off to VCV today.

[Joseph Saragozza.]

I wish one of the 763 should be sent to longreach. If only space wasn't an issue

[Rowan McKeever]

I posted this in another thread - word on one of the facebook spotters' pages is that OGG is being retired at the end of its duties today. Not sure how accurate that is.

[Brad Myer]

Makes sense as QF A330 EBB enters service tomorrow.

VH-OGG has just landed in Sydney completing her service for QF. She will now be stripped bare, and sent off to the Megahub at VCV.

Here she is as she left as QF443 to Melbourne..

That's a sad day then... fingers crossed she becomes one of Westjet's 4 767s and they do something nice with her

[John Thoroughgood]

Agree- sorry to see her go. The 76s ability to get vertical so quickly has always impressed me.

Interestingly, there was a refueller hooked up to it when it was parked on bay this evening. I thought perhaps they'd wait until it was ready for its final departure before topping up the tanks.

As they don't often use the centre wing fuel tank domestically, they fill it up and do a leak check on it before it goes. They will most probably then transfer it to other aircraft in the mean time or if they find any leaks then fix them before it goes. The final flight will leave full of fuel.
