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
