Final flights for the B767

[TheBOSman]

Looks like VH-OGL will be our aircraft for QF767. Was on OGL for QF508 and 517 this morning (SYD-BNE return); crew said that was the one which would operate the final flight. OGL also operated the 1300 down to Melbourne.

Is that QF 435? Just saw it take off on 16R from the international first lounge. Technically, I guess it is the last revenue departure of a QF 767 out of Sydney?

OMG. Just saw Liam R. in the J lounge!

Positioning down to MEL shortly and will be in the Club for a little while.

Yes, OGL did QF508/QF517 SYD/BNE/SYD today.

There's actually a thread for celeb spotting. :sly:

Nine News is reporting that all flights in and out of Melbourne have been suspended due to debris on the main runway from an incident during the aborted takeoff of a Vietnam Airlines flight.

Some flights seem to have diverted. A Qantas 767 just landed in Canberra.

Edit: I see that this has also been posted in Travel News.

QF767's FO is the most senior 767 FO at QF, who also happens to be the wife of well known aviator Owen Zupp.

I'm not sure who the Captain is.

Your captain will be QF's deputy chief pilot according to jb747.

Just landed in MEL. Will make my way to J lounge shortly to find the AFF group. Hope they've saved a seat for me!

I'm afraid they're all taken... JessicaTam is sitting on the floor. You'll need to bring a couple seats in from the QP on your way through.

I wouldn't be in a hurry to do my last flight either....

Just looked at the log book. I hadn't realised it before, but as it turns out, OGL was the very first 767 that I ever flew, on base training at RAAF Amberley. It was also the first aircraft that I flew after I checked out in command. 78 sectors in total.

On its way!

It just flew over Albury/Wodonga. Mike must have forgotten to turn the chemtrails on...it was pretty hard to find.

Blimey, AFF goes quiet when 200 of our most prolific members are all in the air at the same time.
