I think the hardest part of #QF99 #Queenoftheskies farewell today will be getting to the airport! @www16Right don’t anticipate waving to you!
It was wonderful to be on #QF99 -- the last revenue flight of Qantas' last Rolls Royce-powered 747-400. Here's what the experience was like and some of the great AvGeeks I met onboard: https://t.co/LBcQnIYJ5l

🎧 ATC INCLUDED! @Qantas #Boeing747-438 Reg: VH-OJU (Lord Howe Island) flight #QF99 from #Sydney (SYD) lands on runway 25L at @flyLAXairport on October 13th, 2019. This was her final revenue flight after 19 years of service... and is now retired from the #Qantas fleet. #avgeek
So long, VH-OJU! This @BoeingAirplanes 747-400 @Qantas landed at LAX, operating her final revenue flight, #QF99 from SYD. After 19 years, 70 million km, 92,000+ hours flown & 2.5 million pax carried, this 747 will be retired. Video: Lixander Rubalcava. @ghimlay @flightradar24
#QANTAS747 RETIREMENT FLIGHT #QF99 - LIVE FROM #LAX (OCTOBER 13TH, 2019) 📺 YOUTUBE LINK ➡️ https://t.co/tQoQq4R3CA ⬅️ via @YouTube @Qantas @flyLAXairport @Boeing #planespotting #planespotters #avgeek #aviation #qantasretirementflight #b747

Honored to have been on #QF99 - @qantas' last revenue flight of its last (non-ER) Boeing 747: VH-OJU. Met so many great people onboard. Interestingly, the mood was somber, like it was a memorial for a friend.
My challenge: finish writing a @thepointsguy story that does it justice

The #QF99 is about an hour from @flyLAXairport. VH-OJU is operating its final revenue flight with Qantas and is their last non-ER 747-400. 6 747-400ERs remain in service with @Qantas.

VH-OJU fun fact: it was OJU in need of an engine change in Johannesburg in Jan 2016 that led to Qantas’ last five-engine ferry flight. VH-OJS (retired in Feb 2019) carried the extra engine from SYD to JNB via Perth. https://t.co/yLpB3jSabN #QF99
