About how much fuel ( in gallons) does it take a 747 (or similar jet) to fly from New York, USA to Sydney, Austrailia one way?

JFK to sydney is around 8700 NM. That is out of range for a 747. 747-400's max range is 7,670NM
VERY VERY rough numbers. Around 70,000. Headwinds will increse time en route and tailwinds will decrease them. Diffrent engine settings burn more or less fuel.
I REPEAT, BALL PARK Numbers.

Wow! That's so sad, B-Bad has failed to realize that anyone could learn how to fly a plane online by simply registering for an online course. Or simply look up the fuel size in gallons for any 747 by simply googling it. So what's the big deal, other than the fact that he's discriminated against everyone.
P.s. Those towelheads aren't just Arabs. Have some respect B-Bad for the rest of the world who chooses to wear a "towel" on their head. Oh and FYI it's not a towel.

I don't need to chime in since you already got some good answers but I will say not to pay any attention anybody to our kill joy B-Bad. I guess he has figured out somehow that all of this information, and much much more if a terrorist wanted it, is not readily available to any ethnic group he wants to insult. You can damn near learn to fly an airplane into buildings on your computer for christ sake. And we wonder why everybody hates Americans.
