About The City of Canberra
747-438, OJA, City of Canberra, Longreach ….. What gives?
We say that this is a “generic” 747-400 and yet people get confused when the precise designation is “747-438“. The explanation to that is that “38” is the Boeing customer number for Qantas. Any aircraft they make for Qantas has that suffix. For example the Boeing 767-300 series were “767-338” aircraft. Similarly, British Airways is customer number 36.
