A380 Hudson Fysh comes home to SYD Tuesday 9th November

[Princess Fiona]

The first QF A380 is being ferried from Dresden and arrives in SYD tomorrow.
It’s VH-OQB Hudson Fysh

Australian Aviation

I love the suggestion that VH-OQA could end up parked up at HARS or QFOM, but I wouldn't imagine either facility would have the space for such a plane. The reason QFOM turned down the 747 that ended up going to HARS was because they had no where to store it

Looks like the flight plan has been logged.

Fuel order is 250 tonnes, which is full tanks. I don't think I got within 20-30 tonnes of that.

Would also expect the first two planes retired will be scavenged for spare parts to support the remainder.

You send the last frame retired to a museum, not the first.

Yes hopefully not flying the route indicated on Radarbox!!

So just for interest, do you reckon she would be empty, or would QF try to get some freight on board?

I would be prepared to bet that they literally wipe history of any memory of the 380 after they're retired.

It is empty. Take off weight is about 32 tonnes under the max, and landing about 80 tonnes under. It will want to float like a cough!

How many onboard to fly that duration ?

I just watched the take-off streamed on YouTube

Is it same to assume that fuel is costing around $450,000 in fuel just to bring it back to Australia?

Based on these prices:

🇩🇪 JP54, JET A1 price in Germany 85.5 bbl/$ [26.02.2025]

🇩🇪JET FUEL A1 Germany = 85.5bbl/$ 26.02.2025 graph

Could you please share the link to that ?

It will (hopefully) also show the landing tomorrow afternoon.

Hope you are up to speed on your German

 

[Ktan89]

7hours left. In hope it lands from the north so I can snap up a few pics this afternoon.

I do have some inside info on the long-term plans for OQA. Let's just say, outback Queensland should be able to accommodate it.

Am playing this while watching its flight home - tugging at the heart strings:

Will it be Queensland’s first international flight, flying over the graveyard of our tourism industry?

 

[jb747]

How many onboard to fly that duration ?

The flight plan shows a POB of zero, which is probably management's wet dream. I would expect it to be 4 pilots, and 2 cabin crew.

Fuel order is 250 tonnes, which is full tanks. I don't think I got within 20-30 tonnes of that.

JB - looking at the mass of text above, I can't see the number 250 anywhere, or is the fuel ordered seperately? The rest I'm afraid is indecipherable to me, but obviously those who need to know can decode it all...

 

[RichardMEL]

The plan shows waypoints of the flight's route, each one has unique alpha codes.. that's why it probably does not make a lot of sense, but av geeks would know. eg: MOLLY is located in the Philippines. while TARAL is at Greenwich Park, on the North Shore of Sydney.

There's other data such as planned flight levels and so on, but hopefully that explains it in very much layman's terms (stop laughing, jb! )
