Great to see the old girl preserved and I agree it'd be awesome to see such a big plane land in Longreach

Great pics ray.

Apparently not going to Longreach. I'm hearing HARS rumours. Not sure if they could get it into Wollongong by air.

That's the problem.....where do yo put a 747-400 ????
I hadn't heard about HARS but there was a rumour that the Smithsonian Institute want her for display at their Dulles annex. I imagine that their interest would be the fact that she was the record breaker and current record holder for longest flight. Time will tell where she goes I guess.

going by the facebook thread it looks like going to HARS....seems abit odd to me,but they do have a few airliner in their collection.

Apparently it could land at Wol. If very empty!

Not quiet sure why HARS would want or even get her, (there is know direct relationship there). Maintaining a 747-400, even statically, is a BIG job and HARS has a large enough fleet to look after already. I guess we will see though.

Could be a case of the eyes being bigger than the stomach.

Yeah....I don't think they would even have the hard stand space to park her. When there was talk that HARS were getting an ex-RAAF 707, space availability was an issue then, so where the hell would they put a 747-400???
