NLovis, do you have a source that Wunala would be LAST to go??



and TOM, you ARE getting old. You did catch Wunala with me, your first time on the ramp.

Oh yeah.....lol Wow its looks like everyone but Phil has Wunala. Spotter FAIL! :twisted: ;)

[mirrodie]

You see, Phil? Age is only a number. Tom is older than both of us combined! pendejo viejo! LOL

Tom, you need to hit those fish oils!

[Matt Molnar]

I haven't shot Wunala either. I guess it would help if I ventured out to JFK more than twice a year.

I remember...but the light blew since it was dark.

[lijk604]

Hell, even I got a shot of her!

[hiss srq]

I've yet to shoot her. Than again I am the laziest spotter on the planet. If it doesnt come over the roof or to me than I probably wont shoot it. LOL

OK, I'll join the fun...

Crap - I need to take a trip to NY for Wunala - all I have is at 10,000' over the JFK VOR on the way to 13R.

ahhhh...wait - memory kicking in....I remember this - Kenny - Oh crap - will I make the customs building before she lands - giving Nick V his borrowed battery back - cursing about little juice in the battery - then speeding away..next morning - shivering in the cold at Bayswater - I got her - but the #$%#$#%$ was backlit :)

No source but I keep saying "I think". Seriously though think about it. They keep Wunala really clean take really good care of her and shes always in tip top shape. Because of that I personally think she will be the last to go. Though it would be between EB "Philip Island", JS "Socceroo" and our fav EJ "Wunala Dreaming"

I need to get to LAX to hope to get her.

More logically speaking, Wunala is the newest 747 in the Qantas fleet and one of six -400ERs.

Just because its an ER means nothing. VH-OED was a ER and it was 1/3 that they dropped a few months ago.

Mark, good times sir! Good times!
Here's my tribute to her.


It is something new to shoot. Not for nothing, but if it couldn't be the B747, I'd prefer the A330. While the B747 will always be the single most majestic bird in the skies, the lines on the A330 are so sleek that the bird almost screams "Hot Rod." It could be worse, they could have ordered B77W's and sent them here.

Actually Nick, -OED was delivered to Malaysia Airlines in 1991 as a 9M-MHO and IS NOT an ER. When it was delivered to Qantas in 1998 they just kept the GE engines. The fact that Wunala is an ER DOES mean something since the aircraft have the extra range.

[wunaladreamin]

Gordon's right. Same applies to B747-4H6 VH-OEC (former MH 9M-MHN and non-ER) and B747-48E VH-OEB (former OZ HL7416 and non-ER).
