QF6001 and 6002 Syd to LAX tonight

[Townsend]

I see that that there are two a380s under these flight numbers flying Sydney to LAX tonight. Just wondering if anyone knows about these flights!

Flying to Victorville via LAX for storage?

Qantas has it's own hanger in LA and the surrounding space outside it. From memory there is room for 4 aircraft. Probably allows some work to be done on them whilst out of service, and probably cheaper than parking them in Sydney.

OQF/OQB/OQJ look like they are spending their down time in LAX

OQG/OQI in DRS

OQE/OQC in MEL

Reminds me of the following lyrics:
All the sons and daughters
Spinning around the world
Away from their family and friends

Not hearing many planes from my Sydney home for past months so aircraft sound becoming a novelty. Heard a big plane yesterday and looked at Flightradar. Was QF6003 A380-842 SYD-VCV. I have done many flights in 380 Emerald City and will miss it.

Was QF6003 A380-842 SYD-VCV.

And it was QF's first A380...
