The day is getting underway, and 767 VH-OGP is being prepared for most likely its first flight of the day.

VH-OGP was delivered to Qantas upon construction in May 1996. I don't even want to think about how long ago that was.

At one time Qantas operated 38 Boeing 767s, 31 of thich were the -300 family like this one. (The other 7 were -200 family members.) However they fell out of favour in the mid 2010's and while it USED to be that you could hardly take a photo at KSA without one in frame, now you will see not a single one of them. Not in Qantas colours anyway, nor does Virgin Australia operate them.

Thus VH-OGP would continue in service with the airline for just over 3 years after this shot as taken, being withdrawn from service on 10 January 2014. It would remain in storage until August 2016, when it would return to the US as property of the Wells Fargo Bank. In February 2017 it would pass to the Chinese SF Airlines, which are still using it as a cargo plane as of August 2022 as far as I can tell.
