Blimey..

Was going through some old digital photos (2002 :P) and came across one of a Qantas 767 with a white tail (instead of a red one). Did some reading up on it. They operated a couple of them after Ansett's collapse in 2001.

One in particular was frame 27909/591, built in 1995.

Turns out this plane gets around a bit. Since 1995, it has been operated by:


  • Lauda Air

  • Vietnam Airlines (with Australian registration..)

  • back to Lauda

  • untitled with US reg

  • Kenya Airways (again with Australian reg)

  • Qantas

  • back to untitled with US reg

  • back to Vietnam Airlines (with Vietnam reg)

  • Air China

  • Varig

  • and now with Ethiopian Airlines



I think I'd be worried about hull thickness with the number of times this has been stripped and repainted :P
