The 17-year-old Boeing 747-438 departed LAX at 2:30am (AEST) on Saturday morning to head to its final resting place at the notorious Mojave Desert boneyard.

Qantas sold its last 747, along with five others, to General Electric. The airport, IATA: MHV, is located within the Mojave Spaceport and has been storing aircraft since the 1970s.

The location is preferred by airlines for storage – either temporary or permanent – because the 120-degree temperatures prevent rust and precipitation can be as low as just 130mm a year.

The two final trips followed three special flights for customer departing the week before in Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra.

Proceeds from those ticket sales were donated to the HARS Aviation Museum in NSW and the Qantas Founders Museum in Longreach, Queensland. Both currently have 747s on public display.
