1989-91*

VH-OJA was the first -400 delivered to Qantas in August 1989. Instead of being delivered directly to Australia, the aircraft was positionned to London and broke the record of distance for a passenger flight, reaching Sydney in 20 hours and 9 minutes (for a total of 9,633nm). A great report of the flight can be read here on the AussieAirliners website. The "We go further" titles were added a few days later in Sydney and remained on the aircraft for a few years.

In its last month of service with the airline in June/July 1989, this plane flew 2 days for disadvantaged children as part of the Ansett 'Dream Flights' charity club. The two sides of the fuselage showed different animal paintings and graphics altogether with messages raising environmental issues. The design was the work of different Australian personalities including Rolf Harris, Clifton Pugh and David Rankin. The aircraft was later ferried to the US in this scheme and became a freighter for FedEx. Also known as the "Rainbow Serpent".
