Qf 380 syd-lax

[willymaykett]

Hi all,

Going to the US in April, and was wondering if QF flies the same set of planes across the Pacific, or do they cycle them?
I go past the SYD jetbase a few times a week, and often see the 380's sitting on the apron at the jetbase. At one point counted 3 at the same time.
I have been able to see on the tail
QF
QG

Does anyone know how Qantas organises the aircraft?

I don’t have all the links right now as I’m suffering from too much Guinness (or is it not enough?), but here’s the schedule:

The Qantas A380 implementation schedule

And the Qantas A380’s are named VH-OQ_ (currently from A to I (with A being the one that had the incident)).

I believe VH-OQJ is due this month, while K and L are to be delivered Q3 2011 and M in 2012.

Found this link which was interesting.

Wondering which ones they fly SYD-LAX

There is a great tool at Qantas Source (QANTAS Flight Tracker.) which allows you to see which aircraft have been operating a particular flight. Just type in the flight number (ie 'qf11') to see the rego of the plane which operated that flight. Hope this helps.
