Flying Australia's LAST B717 on its FINAL DAY - QANTASLINK B717

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Nice mate. LST is a great airport for plane spotting! Nice to see the A220 too!

[@Aviation763]

Thank you! Isn't it just!

[@Nae395]

A great ode to the Qantas 717. Qantas should be thankful so many aviation youtubers produced these memories.

[@Aviation763]

Thank you so much!

[@LST044]

Nice vid mate! - that's me doing the announcement at the gate! I was in 20A few rows behind you..

[@Aviation763]

Thank you! Oh wow that’s awesome! You would’ve had a fantastic view!

[@itscozyinhere]

Love your videos mate. Super informative and professional! Cant wait to see you grow as a channel ❤

[@Aviation763]

Thank you so much!

[@issacsmith3169]

32:31 She went up to Sheps Mound for the Plane Spotters to take photos of before turning around for 16R

[@Aviation763]

Yeah that makes sense

[@katefromaust5627]

Always a pleasure Aviation763! Wonderful video, sad to see the 717 end its time.

[@Aviation763]

Thank you so much! Yeah it really is :(

[@sa8569]

awesome video mate, i was on this very same flight. i was seated in seat 17F. it was an amazing experience. so glad i got to ride on a Qantaslink Boeing 717 before retirement :)

[@Aviation763]

Oh wow that's awesome! Yeah me too!

[@Robspike17]

RIP Qantaslink 717 🕊

[@Aviation763]

Yeah it really is! Farewell!

[@juniorlmx7794]

Well done!!!

[@Aviation763]

Thank you!

[@RyanZ225_PC]

I’m happy you went on the second last flight. Pete (the captain) is a bloody legend, he was in 21B on QF1511 and we had a chat. I’m glad you could experience the 717 on the last day, and see the commotion at gate 13 😂

[@Aviation763]

Thank you! Yeah I didn't really speak to him but he seemed cool! Awesome! Cool that you got to go on the very last one!

[@Skystar-320]

as ALWAYS another ripper review! Well done! and farewell MadDog :(

[@Aviation763]

Thank you so much! Farewell MadDog indeed :(

[@Hjonkbonk-v2z]

Sad to see this plane go. I do like the rear engine design

[@Aviation763]

Yeah it really is. Me too!

[@GrimReaperProductions1971]

its pronounced Lonceston, similar to how Au is said Ostralia love the vids, the 717 was a great bird - i should say though you may have rushed the video it was perfect, a great tribute, I enjoyed flying on them.

[@Aviation763]

Ahh ok that makes sense. Thanks for the correction! I’m so happy to hear that you think so! Thank you!

[@Fish-mi7fw]

farewell 717!

[@Aviation763]

Farewell B717!

[@TheHobartAviationFan]

Very cool!

[@Aviation763]

Thank you!

[@Suursaadik]

That's a shame! Good memory flight! 😢

[@Aviation763]

Yeah, so sad to see them go

[@kevin19358]

11:04, Same when I flew Airasia Malaysia and Philppines from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur last July, 1 week later, I flew Airasia Philippines from Kuala Lumpur to Manila, I was disappointed that my tray table is not clean and the ground staff never check and clean all the tray table seats and plane after 1 to more than 1 hour turn around. But Air New Zealand is a different story. After Air New Zealand passengers deplane, the ground staff clean the plane, including all the tray table, it's good and some airlines do it (not all airlines, some airlines, including AIrasia didn't clean the tray table and plane and I was disappointed, but both flights is good and okay.

[@Aviation763]

That’s annoying that they didn’t clean the tray table properly!

[@kevin19358]

Yeah.

[@Skystar-320]

They went via and stopped at Sheps mound after your LST flight. the crew on SYD-CBR also went via Sheps Mound prior to takeoff

[@Aviation763]

Yeah when I looked at the flight tracking details I thought that was possible, makes sense. Thanks for the info!

[@ArchAviation]

R.I.P the QantasLink 717-200 A workhorse, not only for Qantas but for every airline.

[@Aviation763]

Yeah it was. It will be missed 😭

[@shiveshp.3271]

Hopefully they keep it as a future heritage aircraft...

[@Aviation763]

Yeah

[@Dudeskill2008]

Man the good old days with boeing 717 is gone fly high 717 🛩

[@Aviation763]

Fly high B717 🕊️

[@witchitygrub47]

QantasLink.....GREED at it;s Best !!!!

[@Aviation763]

Have you had a bad experience with them?

[@southaussiegarbo2054]

That window view at start i believe was onboard a 737-800 in around seat 20.

[@Aviation763]

I think you're reffering to a video taken onboard a QantasLink A220

[@southaussiegarbo2054]

@Aviation763 ah ok. I got 2 flight vids to go public soon. Being my first and 2nd ever flights they are not as detailed etc as yours but your vids helped me with nerves leading upto flights

[@DanielPhillips-bo6md]

Very sad 😂😂 I haven't been on them yet

[@Aviation763]

Very sad indeed

[@Hamishtheaeroplanefan11557]

Are you going to fly QantasLink’s new A220-300 at some point in the future? ✈

[@Aviation763]

I actually did very recently :D

[@Hamishtheaeroplanefan11557]

Oh, nice. Did you upload it?

[@Aviation763]

@ not yet, probably will be uploaded in 3-6 weeks if I had to guess

[@ZaidTransportAdventures]

😃✅👍

[@Aviation763]

Thanks!

[@Nae395]

Where would you think these planes will end up?

[@Aviation763]

Either Delta or being scrapped for parts :(

[@hardly.rivai_YT]

First, the Boeing 747. Now, the Boeing 717 and, soon, it will be the Airbus A330 and the A380. There are so many great aircraft Qantas operated, and they will be all gone over the next decade. ✈️ For now, enjoy while they're still flying today! 🥲

[@Aviation763]

Yeah :( Seems like we won't recognise Qantas' fleet in 10 years! Yeah

[@thetruthisoutthereofficial]

Wasn’t the last flight not to burst your bubble. The 717 was used flying Perth to Paraburdoo for at least a month after your supposed last flight claim

[@Aviation763]

It was meant to be, however for reasons I’m not sure of (but I suspect due to the A220 problems), one was brought out of retirement…

[@sintjagolwicianolwindomar6911]

Hi today final retirement Qantaslink B717

[@Aviation763]

Yesterday was the last scheduled QantasLink B717 flight if thats what u mean

[@sintjagolwicianolwindomar6911]

[@Aviation763]

[@meatsakiiakeno]

@Aviation763, I'm Requesting a Trip Report w/Air Canada

[@Aviation763]

I'd like to try Air Canada, I'll keep your request in mind!

[@matthewdehavilandkay8449]

@@Aviation763 Thank you. Let me know if you have posted one. :)

Sad I got to miss out on one of the last Mad Dogs 🥲

[@Aviation763]

So sad to see them go, hopefully you might still be able to get on another airline's MadDog

[@aviation405]

Really sad that I didn’t get a chance to fly it 😢, glad you go to fly it

Hopefully you still can in the U.S before they're gone. Thank you! Me too
