    QANTAS Jumbo's parting gesture

    On Wednesday afternoon the last QANTAS 747-400 left Sydney for the desert graveyard of Arizona. As a parting gesture She flew down to Wollongong to say farewell to her sister 747 at the HARS museum. She then flew out to sea then turned north to Port Macquarie then turned south. For those tracking her flight this is what they saw.

    Yes, she drew the Flying Kangaroo as a parting gesture.



    Cheers
    Pat

    She will always be the "Queen" of the Sky. Sad to see the 747's making so many last flights.
