VH-OGU Qantas – Boeing 767-338
Soon to be phased out, late 2015 i believe with the A330’s from deathstar coming in to fill the gaps – Qantas. what were you thinking 🙂 jetstar aircraft to be pushed over to mainline big kangaroo.
oh, well still a while to get some more pictures of the faded paintwork 🙂

out front – a classic aircraft
Unfortunately the 767 have had their day and can't compete with the likes of the Boeing Dreamliner. The ones I will miss most when they are phased out are the 747-400's. Such beautiful looking aircraft.
I'll miss their QF767's. I wonder why this one is still flying with the old Qantas livery…
Nice photo well done !!
D750 Santa delivered early ?
Last QF 767 flight is December 27 this year! Better get snapping +Gerard Blacklock!

thanks +Brianain Pollard , when the 747's leave it will be a sad day, especially since they are so distinct in the sky
+Gabriel Komarnicki
