While they're waiting lots of fantastic plane spotting footage.

All over now.

On your chosen flight tracker, you can still see her leaving a kangaroo trace in the sky. Really nice!

[...] a kangaroo trace in the sky.

What a beautiful last tribute.

Although we should be eternally grateful to Ch 7 for providing the live footage online, apparently the audio commentary was pretty rubbish (didn't hear it), liveATC was quite sufficient with heartfelt farewells from fire crews, ATC and so forth. From the plane: 'thanks, there are a few tears up here, can we have clearance to 3000ft?'. Probably recorded somewhere.

As John Travolta must have been busy, the company's first female captain was flying the departure. See also https://simpleflying.com/qantas-747-goodbye/

Probably recorded somewhere.

I would hope so.
