Default Aircraft flight history

This is probably a long shot but is there a way to go back 10 years on a commercial aircraft registration to see all the flights it operated? I purchased a piece of skin from a Qantas A380 that retired to Victorville during Covid. Qantas is near and dear to me as dad worked for them and at the beginning of my airline career I made many trips back and forth between Oz- LAX and SFO and I’m trying to see if I actually flew on this particular aircraft. I’ve used flight radar and a few others but can’t seem to go older than 2018. And from what I can find it seems to be a lot of money to find out unless you have access to info I don’t. If anyone can help or point me in the right direction that would be amazing.
Tail is VH-OQE and looking more specifically for Oct 2014 through 2016. But ideally would love 2014-2020 when it was scrapped.

If you can't find a more readily accessible source, you could try FOIA with the FAA or US customs... that would probably get you the history of US arrivals and departures at least. There would be some administrative cost and it would likely take some time.

I'd probably just start with Qantas PR department.

Perhaps you can reach out to QANTAS.
