Qantas 747 circling Hobart

[Sprucegoose]

Just noticed this, wasn't aware there were any scheduled services to the Apple Isle for the 747.


Anyone know anything else?

VH-OJF Was listed for sale on January 16rd and flew to AVV on Jan 23rd.

Maybe there's a 'tyre-kicker' in the coughpit.

I thought HBA's runway was long enough for a 747?

Many of the 747s will do this - the reconfigured 747s did about 8 hours of flying over Tassie to test all the systems etc.

It can take a 747, but with weight restrictions.

What about CBR?

 

[serfty]

What about CBR?

USAF-1 (AKA "Air Force One") was there last year.

 

[drron]

What about CBR?

And a 747 was diverted there a few years ago-

And cargo 747s on quite a few occasions-

What about CBR?

CBR's main runway was extended and upgraded a few years ago to almost 11,000 feet.

Its not the length that always matters
