767 question
Another question to be answered to settle a wager.
What is the longest route the 767 fly at QF?
Thanks in advance.

Well you will have a long wait, as I know nothing about Qantas. 
Some people say I know nothing about anything, just ignore them.
The longest commercial flight with a B767 that I am aware of, is the one we used to do back in 1992-1993, Hanoi to Moscow direct.
We were the ONLY twin at the time that could do it, before the B777 and A330 of course.

From the QF newsroom
"Mr Borghetti said Qantas was also finalising plans to fly to Shanghai by the end of 2004."
Looks like Sydney - Honolulu wins with 8154kms
compared to Mel - Toyko 8145kms
Actually wouldnt Mel - Honolulu be longer if its done by mainline QF and not code share?

Snapper head:
Think you'll find Melbourne - Tokyo as the longest currently.
The Sydney - Honolulu flight was for an old 200 series which was being ferried to the Mojave graveyard. The stop in Honolulu was merely for some more motion lotion, before heading to her final resting place.
QF did operate a Melbourne - Honolulu flight, but it was operated by a 747. I'm not sure if it was the standard -400 series or the ER model.
Soulman.

Not sure if you guys have calculated mileage by air route, but my great circle calculator makes MEL-NRT longer at 8173km than SYD-HNL 8163km.
Soulman please note that SYD-HNL was indeed flown as a scheduled passenger service using 767-338 as recently as late last year or early this year.
PER-NRT is 7940km with HAN to SVO a long way out of the running at 6744km!

Is it still a B767?
Surely not VH-RMA still.
We used to use one Crew over, and a fresh Crew back that had been waiting in Moscow, it was "rostered" as a 12 hour flight, but always took longer.
I had to go over and back with it a few times, from the Hotel in Saigon and back to the Hotel in Saigon was over 35 hours on duty.......

74C flies SYD-HNL three times a week. 76 took it over for a short period while loads were down but it's back to a 747 service and looks like it'll stay that way for a while at least. Longest 767 service is therefore MEL-NRT....and that's a bloody long way at Mach 0.80!!
