In July 2020, Qantas retired the last remaining Boeing 747 aircraft from its fleet. The flight departed Sydney’s Kingsford Smith Airport and made its way across the Pacific Ocean, finally coming to rest in the massive aircraft boneyard in the Mojave Desert. It was a poignant moment for both Qantas and Australia as a nation – it signalled the end of an era. But every ending is also the beginning of something new, and as much as there was sadness surrounding that final flight, there was also a sense of optimism looking forward to the future – to the new adventures that lay ahead. Join us this week as we explore both the history of Qantas and the history of the iconic Boeing 747 and the impact it had on a nation.

Thank you for this wonderful video 🙏, it was so educational and couldn't have came at a better time. Truly God was guiding you as you wrote and presented this video.

Another fantastic video!
Amen Brother , thank you TIJ .!!!
It was always wonderful flying (before planes had wifi), unattached to earth and closer to heaven..always a good feeling to come your gate and see a 747 waiting and aside from a Concorde flight the upper deck of the 47 was my favorite seat..thx for the vid as we wait for that final flight 🙏🏻🕊✈️
Very impressive video! Praise the Lord!
That is a big plane indeed. I always hear the voice of Rainman (Dustin Hoffman) whenever I see the Quantas airlines, "Quantas hasn't crashed."
