VH-OJA Retired

Post by Garry Russell »

Due to go to a museum, the first QANTAS Boeing 747-438 has been retired

This was famous for flying non stop from LHR to Sydney

Funny thinking of Boeing 747-400 as museum pieces, but the reality it's over 25 years and scrap yards are filling fast with the type
