August 11, 20178 yr For those who follow such things, The great 747-400 VH-OJM of Qantas Airways, which was repainted in all her glory by PMDG for the QOTSIII (see ops centre), has been retired by Qantas after a long 26 years in service and almost 120,000 service hours. She was flown from YSSY as QF73 to KSFO on 30th July, then made the short hop to KMHV where she'll spend the rest of her days.

Cheers, Chris Brand
August 11, 20178 yr Haha bad luck, Chris. I've already put her in Mojave. Pity none of the FSX sceneries for Mojave work in P3D. ;) https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/qf6019/#e4a1baf http://flightaware.com/live/flight/QFA6019 What I don't get is the weird double-circuit they did at Mojave

August 12, 20178 yr They sometimes do a low and over before setting her down for the last time! Dave Robertson BE20, BE35, BE02, C560, CRJ, MD80, E190, B777

When overseas, it was indeed a thrilling feeling seeing the "Flying Kangaroo" 747 flying overhead. David Porrett
