Now, Where Did I Park My Plane?


I don't think you'd have any problems finding this old girl, sitting at the QANTAS Founders Museum in Longreach. In fact, as you drive into the town, this dominates the scene rather than any town landmark. Being able to get up so close to the Jumbo is an amazing experience. Better still is being able to explore the workings of this aircraft with a tour of it, with a wing walk included. It's only then that you realise just how big the 747 really is.

No she would certainly be hard to miss Al..part of me thinks it's just not right for such a big machine and so many people to be all in the air together, did I mention that part of me is about 99% haha!

It's almost as if it landed in the parking lot. At first glance it startles.
