QF767 : Final Flight of a Qantas Boeing 767 (Melbourne to Sydney)

On the 27th of December 2014 Qantas scheduled its final Boeing 767 flight after 29 years of service in the fleet. The specially numbered flight QF767 was from Melbourne to Sydney scheduled to depart at 5pm and was operated by VH-OGL. On board were over 200 avgeeks, staff, former staff/crew and frequent flyers. It was a fabulous occasion and there was even a proposal on board. We also spent about 30 minutes doing low level flyovers of the Sydney CBD and harbour, just amazing!
This video shows the entire day's proceedings, I do apologise for the shaky footage at times, I was balancing the video camera with my still camera at times and I had a few drinks along the way too!
Special thanks to the team at Qantas for putting together a wonderful experience.

The 767 was a perfect aircraft for Australia.

[@TuttTutt-l4b]

As an expat Aussie living in the US, I’ve seen these 767s parked at the airplane graveyard in the Mojave desert in California. It’s amazing to me that I’ve flown on these a couple of times in my home country of Australia and now they’re sitting here in the desert still with a Qantas logos on them!

My very first international flight was with a QANTAS' B767-338ER, I still remember the exact date - 27/06/1998 to 28/06/1998, flight QF188 SHA-SYD, as I saved the hand written red ticket for safe keeping. In those days, it was a very expensive one-way ticket, I took the then "super express" train from my town to Shanghai Centre (128 km in over 2 hours and now the fastest train runs the same route in 28 mins) and paid the ticket in cash. After purchasing the ticket, a Qantas agent gave me a timetable booklet, blue cover, quite thick, and I just kept reading it front to back and back to front for, believe it or not, weeks! That booklet is still on my bookshelf.

[@davefrommelbourne1237]

Absolutely Awesome everyone looks excited to be onboard. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@AussieFlyer]

it was a privilege to be there to see the end of an era in Australian aviation

[@robertgunner624]

Managed to fly in the QANTAS 767 in Nov 2014 from Darwin to Brisbane as I knew they were retiring them & we were sitting on our hotel balcony @ Circular Quay on 27/12 to see you fly around Sydney Harbour. Thanks for the video!

[@AussieFlyer]

Robert Gunner they were a great aircraft!

[@joffie]

Great video! I was on this flight. Can't believe its been 3 years already. Definitely miss the 767.

Brent L delta is flight are full of b767-400 of quantas is now as delta livery

[@StealthFB22]

It is always emotional when airlines retire an aircraft :(

[@Ruddpocalypse]

Awesome video. Keep up the good work. I had of flown on the 767 a bit more often before this day came.

[@aviatorsdream4686]

This Flying Roo will fly high forever.

[@AussieAircraft98]

was on that flight will never foret the day my favourite plane went into the history books. my first commercial flight was on a Ansett 767, so when the 767 left forever, a small piece of me did as well. Its been months now, but I still wish I could see the bird fly once more.

[@AussieFlyer]

AussieAircraft98 The 767 is sorely missed!

[@sytherwusky]

Aussie Flyer what was the name of the song playd at the start?

[@dmcnamara9859]

+ AussieAircraft98 Do not feel sad, this particular GE powered air-frame was bought by WestJet of Canada ..... and will fly vacationers to the Caribbean / Europe, etc.It is undergoing a Massive re-fitment of its air- frame ... including installation of winglets. The fate of Qantas RR powered 767s is not so kind(most will be scrapped in the Mojave desert);as used Rolls Royce powered 767s/747s have few takers...because the RB211 is a gas-hog/maintenance-repair intensive compared to P&W/GE of the era.

[@sytherwusky]

D McNamara you know the name of the song was

[@dmcnamara9859]

+Shadow is the best If you have or have access to a smart-phone; (like a I-phone,etc.);audio app on a desktop-laptop,the name or its composer will pop-up in options menu...if not automatically displayed.

[@peterchajo]

its been a year since they were retired and look we already miss them so much

[@AussieFlyer]

+SydneyAirportCapturer HL indeed!

[@henson2k]

Historic video! I saw rainbow and bunch of unicorns!

[@ethanayres374]

I badly miss the 767s in the qantas fleet I first flew qantas last year my first flight on qantas was Melbourne to Sydney on a 767 I felt lucky to fly on one before the fleet retired

[@johnbrett1575]

Just in case you didn’t manage to see this video before of the last Qantas B767-300 VH-OGL commercial flight, prior to leaving the service of Qantas. The flight was from Melbourne to Sydney.

[@60frederick]

Thank you for sharing your great video with us. Have you taken the safety instructions card as a souvenir? Greetings from Switzerland

[@adelejellybelly2010]

Love the 767.

[@dojadojacek5685]

Quietly envy here in the Czech Republic already so just say goodbye to ending the national carrier (Czech Airlines).

[@jaydenrai9165]

Whats the name of the music in the beginning part and ending part in this video?

[@Davionknight1]

Qantas 767s were regulars at WSSS (SIN) in the early 2000s. They will be missed.

[@sytherwusky]

what was the name of the song at the start of the video?

[@JohnSmith-xs4fq]

My first flight were on an airbus a340 and a320 and I'm an airbus fan but my God the 767 is beautiful better than Boeings current planes

[@aether9026]

Now used by WestJet Airlines!

[@JackJackProductions]

[@emmacollins1285]

[@Thenewfieboy92]

Great Video, That same bird is now part of one of our Canadian airline fleets (WestJet) and now has added wiglets. Im sure it has lots of happy flights left > link of a photo July 2016 landing at YYC - Calgary Alberta Canada m.facebook.com/JZhivagoImages/photos/a.1761735300707159.1073741846.1711792685701421/1761735634040459/?type=3&source=54&ref=page_internal

[@AussieFlyer]

I've heard WestJet have had a few maintenance dramas with them though

[@NepinVlogs]

2020 good bye to quantas 747s

[@AussieFlyer]

pity i couldn't fly on them to farewell, COVID killed them off

[@vhzxb]

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@NoTaboos]

What a boring route to finish on.

[@AussieFlyer]

Not really, it was the route most often flown by the 767, so it seems appropriate
