I have just finished recording the final moments of VH-XBA on its arrival at Longreach. It is a mp3 format audio file of approx 33Mb, about 20 minutes duration - way too big to post in any news group.

I dont know it's route, so not sure if you'd see it...

The original JT3D (and JT8D) doesn't meet those ...

...'s professional crew park the thing at Longreach for the museum. I don't remember John Travolta's crew volunteering and I'm interested in your implication that the Qantas crew who flew XBA home AREN'T professional. If QFM thought JT's team could do it cheaper, I'm sure they'd have let them. They only need Qantas for the money after all. John Travolta'...
