Aviationtag Qantas Airways Boeing 747-400 VH-OEG Red

The Boeing 747 is a wide-body, four-engine jetliner which rose to aviation fame in the late 1960s. The first 747 completed its virgin flight in 1969 and remained the largest passenger jet in the world until 2005. Its wingspan is 64.44 m and the vertical elongation at the wingtip can be up to 16 m. It is also well known for its “hump” silhouette which earned it the nickname Jumbo Jet. Compared to previous 747s, the most significant aerodynamic improvement in the 747-400 is the wing size, which is 1.8 m (6 ft) longer with a 6 ft. high winglet that is angled upwards and slightly outward.

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. Today, its journey continues, not into the fading sunset, but into a new chapter of upcycling, where Aviationtag breathes new life into its storied fuselage. Attach it to your keys, embellish your luggage, or showcase it in your collection – a small yet powerful memento of the Queen of the Skies' remarkable odyssey with Qantas.
