Qantas 73 'Gosford' final commercial flight and it is off to San Francisco (SFO/KSFO), and then to Mojave (MHV/KMHV) where she will most likely, be parted out... Seen here, just airborne after the crossing runway, 34L Sydney Airport (SYD/YSSY)! 'Gosford' was delivered on 17th September 1991. VH-OJM had logged 117,310 hours and 13,753 landings, a record for any Qantas aircraft. Just another 13 or so to SFO, and a couple more cycles to be added until she lands for the final time...
