The item on 60 Minutes Australia on the retirement flight of Qantas Boeing 767 VH-OGG to VCV and the aircraft graveyard finally aired last night in Australia, after several weeks of delay.
Although the item is yet to appear on their youtube channel, it does feature on their app and extras can be seen on youtube including the below birdseye view of the graveyard.
I apologise if this or the app is geo-locked outside of Australia

VCV boneyard story delayed
As mentioned in this POST, 60 minutes Australia were scheduled to show a story tonight on the retirement of the Qantas 767 fleet and the "aircraft graveyard" at Victorville.
However due to a dodgy political 'special investigation' the story did not air tonight. Hopefully the story will air next Sunday night instead.
