When I was a toddler my Dad used to always point up at the sky whenever a Qantas 747-338 or 747-438 flew over, this planted the AvGeek seed. It always made me so so excited. I never got the chance to fly on one until I heard about the 747 domestic flights before the Antarctic flights at the end of 2019. My Dad and I booked seats for the New Year’s Eve flight QF417 SYD-MEL. It was 747-438ER VH-OEJ…

I have been trying to get in the 747 for over 7 years now as I am a newbie to flying as a passenger. The fun flight from Sydney was my first and maybe the last ever 747 flight…

I was lucky enough to win a trip on a Captains Choice Escorted tour around South America on a chartered 747, and when we were leaving Easter Island I was also able to visit for the flight deck…

So many fabulous experiences on the 747. My favourite Asian hubs where often service by the Queen Of the Skies…

Working in the travel industry, I have been lucky enough to enjoy a few Qantas 747 flights. They have brought me home safely every time, even through a typhoon flying out of Hong Kong…

My love affair with the 747 began when VH-OJA was retired in Albion park. me and two workmates at the time flocked to see the jumbo land on such a short runway. since then i visited the jumbo every time i was in the Illawarra and even nearly volunteered at the museum it is stored at…

When I first saw the 747, I was blown away by her immense size, but I soon fell in love with the iconic jet as no other aircraft is quite as recognisable…

I was an 18-year old Hong Konger (Which I turned 19 exactly today), who is currently studying Engineering in Adelaide. Everything started on Feb 14, 2020, when I got the opportunity to fly on a Qantas 747-400ER (VH-OEH) from Hong Kong to Sydney (QF128) before transiting another flight to Adelaide. This was the first time I flew on a plane by myself, heading to this far and mysterious continent. My nervousness was converted to excitement when I saw this mighty Queen of the skies parking just in front of me in the HK Terminal…

My first time of both seeing a 747, and flying was at age 8, at Auckland on 5 May 1977, when the family did a long holiday to England. Walking up to the gleaming 747 via air stairs, this then kid was pretty wowed, to say the least, by PAN-AM's series 100, N750PA 'Clipper Rambler'…

I'm an aviation enthusiast living in Manila. About a year ago, I was browsing through the internet and came upon the story of Qantas doing the last round of domestic flights in the Boeing 747. Without hesitation, I booked myself on my first Australian trip just to be on it. The flight was scheduled for February 17, 2020, on flight QF400 from Melbourne to Sydney. Looking at the flight number I said to myself, how aptly designated it was for the Series 400…

I live in Brazil and I have a daughter and grandson living in Coffs Harbor and in the last 10 years I have visited Australia 22 times, and many times I have flown in the Queen of the Skies, the 747 Qantas in my favorite
