In the vast expanse of the Mojave Desert, where retired aircraft find solace in their final resting place, a silent giant tells the tale of its glory days. The Boeing 747-400ER VH-OEG, affectionately named "Parkes" after the New South Wales town, once soared across the skies as a proud member of Qantas, Australia's national flag carrier. It was one of only 6 Boeing 747-400ER (Extended Range) ever - specifically build for Qantas. The ER could fly 800 km farther, or carry 6.800kg more payload, than the -400.
From 2002 to 2020, this majestic Queen of the Skies painted its legacy across the heavens.
