Qantas A380 VH OQB Take Off at Dresden Germany Landing at Sydney Airport
The first Qantas A380 to return to Australia from storage has finally touched down in Sydney after nearly 19 hours in the air, ahead of its planned return to service in 2022. VHOQB was ferried from a maintenance facility in Dresden to Sydney overnight, finally landing at Sydney Kingsford Smith at 3:11pm after taking the scenic route via Sydney Harbour. It is the first time VHOQB has seen Australian shores since it was first ferried to LAX on 26 March, 2020, in the early days of the pandemic. Hudson Fysh, named after one of Qantas founders, flew 19 hours after it departed Dresden, Germany. The aircraft recently underwent scheduled maintenance for a new landing gear, after spending the best part of two years in storage during the COVID19 pandemic.
