The Channel 7 helicopter also addressed Qantas 767 directly when asking them to wave and didn't use their callsign (rather they used "Channel 7 chopper"). So all up a few unconventional radio calls.

Farewell to Qantas B767-338 (25363) 1991 VH-OGL - I had the pleasure of flying on OGL from Brisbane to Sydney on 5/07/2006, and Cairns to Sydney on 29/07/2011.

Some images from her 23 years of service.

What an experience it was! An action packed flight full of camera snapping, socialising and cheering, not to mention the marriage proposal onboard and the amazing orbits of the Sydney CBD!!!

The day after the adrenalin is still running - what a day, what a flight, won't be forgotten for a long time. Great to see so many board members on the flight.

Such a shame though. No doubt they will end up as soft drink cans.
