The Qantas Boeing 747-400/400ER fleet is down to single digits after the retirement of VH-OJT. The aircraft named 'Fraser Island' operated its last revenue service in Qantas colors on Saturday September 22, 2018, when it took off from Brisbane as QF55.
Following a few final checks at Los Angeles, VH-OJT ferried to the Mojave desert on September 25, 2018.
Figures from Qantas showed VH-OJT, MSN25565 and LN1233, completed about 9,300 cycles and racked up about 90,000 flight hours in its near two-decade flying career with the airline. That represents about 18 million kilometres, or 111 return trips between earth and the moon, from the time it was delivered to the airline in October 1999.
VH-OJT, which is powered by Rolls-Royce RB211 engines, was the 50th 747 delivered to Qantas. It was also the aircraft on Qantas’s last 747-operated Los Angeles-New York (JFK)-Los Angeles rotation at the end of August.
Thank you VH-OJT, Queen of the Skies. Here is a short clip of her starting her engines and taking off for the last time!
