Right, OEC and OED from MH and OEB from OZI think 2 from Malaysian Airlines and 1 from Asiana.
I did not know about that.The ones from MH were a problem as when they were being repainted in QF colours it was detected that that had dubious repairs to cracks in their wing joints I think.
Philips Island still going strong!I believe the OZ one is still in service but will be retired
Not correct, sorry. I studied the Qantas 747 fleet and its retirement plans as a good example that not always the oldest planes gets retired first but the planes with the highest upcoming costs, as D-Checks for example. (OJB retired while OJA will still stay etc.). Interesting as well that not even hours nor cycles are really that important. The last retired Qantas B744s had between 78k to 100k hours.only keeping the 3 youngest 747-438
Easy to remember, the only 6 B747ER ever build.and 6 747-438ERs.
