The last Boeing 747-400, registration VH-OEJ and delivered in 2003, was backed out of a Sydney hangar at 2pm and departed with a cargo hold full of freight for Los Angeles and then California’s Mojave Desert.
The aircraft and the airline’s other 747-400ERs have been sold to General Electric because of the value of the engines.
