Search by air for the missing Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 has been called off.  Most (if not all) the aircraft tupes that undertook visual search from Australia, were grouped for a farewell picture. 

Search for any sign of the missing MH370 flight in Southern Indian Ocean has been called off, since it is extremely unlikely that any debris will be found on the ocean’s surface little less than 2 months since the Boeing 777 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing mysteriously disappeared from radars. 

52 days into the search, anything would have sunk and for this reason the authorities have decided to focus on underwater search. 

But before patrol and support aircraft and crews from Australia, New Zealand, China, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia and U.S. left Perth, RAAF Pearce, and RAAF Learmonth, planes from each participating nation were grouped for one last farewell photo.
