Now that the QANTAS B767 fleet has been retired, can anyone please tell me the aircraft with the highest cycles and hours ?

Cheers

Bob

Thanks for the info Fred. I also read on another site that -OGM has 27,213 cycles but the hours weren't quoted.

Cheers

Bob

Hi Bob,

OGM has 81191 hours and 26162 cycles. The other site may have been wrong?

Hi,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I was able to fly down to MEL on VH-OGU on its last day of service
I Was fortunate to fly down in J which was a great experience. I cant convey how sad the crew were. Our F/O Flew his last sector on this flight. I was fortunate enough to visit the flight deck once we landed and i will never forget that flight.

On the flip side, i caught the JQ 37 back to SYD on the 787. Pleasant flight but it aint a 767.

Kind regards

Ash allen

Hi Fred

Thanks for the correction ; it would appear that my earlier information was incorrect.

Cheers and a Happy New Year and best wishes for great spotting in 2015.

That was quick. Wonder if it would join OGS in Alice Springs soon.

Here's a picture of OGT last Wednesday, looking splendid in the new 'Red Roo' scheme:
