Scrapping Aircraft

[A380 MAN]

Qantas Scrapping Jets im Personally Saddened when Qantas makes the Call that A flying Kangaroo will be grounded for good and many end up far from Home like
VH-OEJ who's now rotting away in Oscoda Airport in Michigan what do you think whats the chances on VH OEJ Flying Again ?

Kalitta Air purchased it for parts, and said in 2022 that it wouldn’t fly again.

An aircraft is not a “who”. It is an inanimate object.

So i guess that one is grounded now is there any reports on how they have used it like is it a pile metal or still intact i wonder if they painted over the signatures from the Crew during the farewell flight back in 2020

Obviously not a pilot. They all have their individual personalities. Some you'll love, and others hate.

I’m about as much of a pilot as an aircraft is an animate being.

But of course inanimate objects can be seen to have personality through the human process of anthropomorphism.

Perhaps not, but they’re much more likeable than many humans.
