Today, one of our fellow HNL spotters, je89_w, left on JO73. This will most likely be his last trip on a JAL 747 classic since JAL will retire the 747 classic at the end of the month. This is a picture of today's JO73 departure with je89_w on it.The last JAL 747 classic flight will be on July 30th. The last flight will be JO73. Each passenger will be given a small gift to commerate this event.
Not sure of which aircraft they will use, but it will be either JA812J or JA8166. I'm partial to wanting JA8166 because of the significance of the aircraft. JA8166 was the 50th 747 delivered to JAL. It would be fitting for the last JAL 747 classic flight from the 50th U.S. state celebrating it's 50th anniversay of becoming a state to be on the JAL's 50th 747.

Hi! I get information from Japanese aviation magazine. The final flight, JO073, will be JA812J.
Interesting information. Maybe I should mention this at work.
