As with many retired passenger variant of the B744, they'll most probably be converted into a freighter. Plenty of hours and cycles left in the majority of them and IIRC the first couple of B744 was only taken out of storage and scrapped in 2009/2010 due to economical and financial constraints on the part of their lessors or owners.

I read somewhere that it has been sold to Transaero, a russian airline

Just watched VH-OQA "Nancy Bird Walton" took off, stretched her wings and landed for the first time in 528 days this morning!

Alas no photo of it taken though as image capturing devices are not allowed from where I was at so please do kindly pardon me.

 

[erkuan]

Wow, i wonder if anyone spotted the A380 that morning. Care to share a few shots ?
