QF8 diverts to LAX

Re: QF8 or should that be late? (Pilots arguing)

Nah .. it's looking good.
VH-OEG

And contrary to markis10 about spares, 747ER required for QF7/8.
Only 7 of those and I don't think OEB has flown the route.

There are 6 ERs, had the pleasure of flying OEG on Sunday on QF52.

There's 6 ERs (OEE, OEF, OEG, OEH, OEI, OEJ) and 3 non-ERs (OJS, OJT, OJU) that have been refurbed.

VH-OEB is an ex-OZ 747 which is a non ER.
