Back in the 80s and 90s it flew wherever QF flew. It was initially used on SYD-LAX non stop before the 747-400 was around but following the 400 it was a thorn in the side of QF. They were good aircraft but the 400 did what the SP did but with more pax, so in the end it was just a general dogs body until they were cut up.

In my opinion they should have sent 1 to Longreach instead of a -200. They were a much more interesting and unique aircraft.
