100709_093614_8624 VH-OGQ Spotlit

Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport, Mascot, NSW

Qantas 767-300 (767-338ER) VH-OGQ is lit by a shaft of sunlight as she taxis to a runway for takeoff. As you can see from the ground there had been some rain during the morning, and although not visible in the direction that we're looking there was still plenty of cloud cover about.

Writing now from the distant future of August 2022, I know that Qantas disposed of its entire 767 fleet in the mid 2010s. VH-OGQ was originally delivered in August of 1996. She was withdrawn from service on 7 February 2014, a bit over 3 1/2 years after this photo was taken. After a brief spell with Wells Fargo Bank she was shipped off to China's SF Air and converted to a cargo plane where, to the best of my knowledge, she remains to this day.
