Haven't been there for a hundred years. :-)
It looked familiar, but wasn't sure.

The QANTAS memorabilia would have been great to see.

Thanks
Graham

Theres a little bit about it on the Qantas website:

Good vantage spot if you have a good camera and zoom !

Thanks Steve. Is there anything like this at the QANTAS terminal at
Brisbane?
I'm more likely to be there than in Sydney (last time was in Jan 1974) :-)

Thankyou for the link.
Something that always interests me is how the "in flight meal" has
evolved over the years.

Graham

Yeah, the inflight "meal" has evolved into the neil perry 1/2 a sandwich or
a muffin ! I've not seen any similar
displays in Brisbane, I usually spend my between flight time up there
wandering around to Jetstar and Virgin terminals
to get a bit of exercise and a different view of the runways.
Due to your kind comments I'll post a picture a bit later of VH-OGD
that I got from the same spot as the Q400.
thx
Steve.

Hi Steve

Thanks for the pic of VH-OGD :-)

At the Brisbane domestic terminal - are there any areas where nosey
parkers like me can get a good (preferably outside) view of the traffic
comings and goings.

Down stairs in the passenger checkin it is fully enclosed - sort of ok
for seeing some planes, but not a lot of sound can be heard from outside.
Likewise upstairs - it also seems to be enclosed.

Security takes a pretty dim view of most things these days. :-(

I will probably be down there in Feb or March 2010. I'm hoping there's a
good vantage point somewhere where I could spend an hour or two before
flying home.

Cheers
Graham

Hi Graham,
I don't know of any outdoor viewing spots any more, last one i
found was in Christchurch a few months
ago, had to wait for the ice to melt before they opened it up ! Great fun
once outside though , but cold :-)
In Brisbane i'd just wander up all the terminals , the circular far ends
are about the best you'll get as far as i know, and don't just limit
yourself to whomever your flying with, have a wander through the other
terminals, just watch your departure time as there's
no opposition announcements once you wander off !
Same with Sydney, if you're in Qantas Domestic, i'd recommend seeing the
display and it's a great view from up there too !
steve.
