Qantas

Queensland and Northern Territories Air Services (Q.A.N.T.A.S) was formed in central Queensland in the 1920s by and ex WWI flyer and a local pastoralist.

Longreach is home for the QANTAS Founders Museum which incorporates QANTASs first hanger.

If you watched The Rainman you would know QANTAS is the world's safest airline They've never lost a passenger.

The last photo was interesting to me - it shows how a propeller is made from laminations of wood in a press.

I was going to add something about Qantas mate but I find I can't now - oh sod it, we used to call them Qaintass - never knew there were so many gay cabin crews in Oz. stevmk2

Re: Qantas

As a proud Aussie, I fly JAL, Emirates and Singapore airlines, as Qantas' service is crap.

Malaysian Airlines for me, Haven't flown QANTAS since the 80s. If you fly Emirates now you are just as likely to end up on a QANTAS jet (or vice versa) since they started route sharing (and there is nothing like sharing a good route)
