747 Farewell
Geezus some of you blokes are hard to please there is no FU to anyone. This is purely what it is, an opportunity to do something cool and historic. There is no scandal, there is no negativity associated with this I assure you. And it’s news to me that the marketing gurus, gmc or anyone in QF (or aviation industry) caused COVID.

Good question...How is this route programmed into the FMS? Many individual coordinates and pseudo waypoints made manually by the flight crew? Or is made by the flight planning dept/ inserted on a nav database to be accessed or uplinked by the crew?

I don’t know a Pilot who doesn’t love the 747, shame to see it go.
out of curiosity how were the flight crew picked? Most senior so flying with all Captains of most senior in rank?

I was also impressed with AJ & his ability to involve as many as possible.
I would like to express my personal thanks to the clever, caring people who engineered yesterday’s display of 21st century aerial art, even though we all knew that it was the aeroplane saying goodbye. The day promised to be one of sadness, and it was, but you soothed the sadness and replaced the tears of sadness with tears of pride. Thank you.
Reported on BBC World News this morning, complete with screen shots of Flight Tracker/Radar with the logo, with a global viewing audience of millions I assume it was a pretty good bang for an advertising buck.........
Hi all
Do any of the QF folk have an eta for Mojave?
I am in the area and would love to get some pics of its arrival and I have been advised it is scheduled to touchdown at 11:30.
But there is much confusion as to which day, thursday (tomorrow here) or Friday! Is it spending one day in LAX or two?
If anyone could help pin it down it would be much appreciated.
cheers
