Default Expo 747 and me!

The dude in tennis shorts and duds at the nosewheel is me. I set up the shot
and asked my friend to just shoot me. After battling crowds all day at Expo
and putting up with me holding him up while I snapped away, I think he was
ready to oblige with a shotgun.

Does this qualify you for Hangar Queen status? ;-P

I don't know if anyone has posted this static 747 display at Longreach,
Queensland, but here goes anyway.....
The 707 in the background is part of the display, too.
Photo taken in 2007.

Another one of the Longreach 747 display. The thing is, QANTAS began in
Longreach in 1920-something.
