Brief Recommendation - Qantas Founders Museum

Noxegon

For anyone heading to Australia –

The War Department and I visited the Qantas Founders Museum in Longreach last month. The museum has a handful of retired jets including a 707 and a 747 (with a fifth engine pod), and you can do an extremely in depth tour that takes you all over both aircraft - including the cargo hold, the electronics bay, the cockpit, out onto the wing, and beyond. They're currently restoring a Super Constellation which should open later this year.

Highly recommended.

The 707 was delivered to its final home in Australia via Dublin in December 2006.

Bloody hell you forget how gorgeous the boeing 707 looks in a colour scheme of the era..... fantastic

Personally I cant believe you allowed her into the Captains seat.....We know she is the boss, just dont let her know!!!


Very cool being able to climb in, on and around an old aircraft like that,
