I missed her completely!
I received a call from Monty in Perth on Sunday morning waking me up.
"Mate, you get shots of the Qantas 707?"
"What? What 707?"
Seems I'm completely out of the loop. The first ever commercial jet sold by Boeing to a foreign airline was found somewhere in the UK. It was brought back to its former glory and flown back home via the UK and US.
I was annoyed on Sunday. I didn't get any photos of it landing into Sydney. My house mate Sam Chui not only managed shots, but got press access :)
Oh well.... what a gorgeous plane.
Hoping to get some shots soon, before she flies to off to be stored in a museum up north - perfect, because Queensland (cowboy, redneck country) is the birthplace of Qantas (Q.A.N.T.A.S = Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Service).

Expect some good shots from Sam :roll:
