The Qantas Founders Museum at Longreach might be interested if you want to donate it to them. It's a fabulous museum; well worth a visit.

Saw a bit of graffiti on a toilet door in London - "cunnilingus is not an Irish airline".

MiG-31 Foxhound clocks 1900mph (3057kmh)

I understand they use valve technology, because valves are not affected by nuclear magnetic waves like solid state is.
The Russians make good military grade valves - their Svetlana's are running on my hifi amplifier, and sound fantastic.

I've actually driven past it once, to this day I still can't figure out why the hell I didn't stop, but its definitely on the list I must climb on the 707

Good thing TAM (now LATAM) overtook this as the - er - ‘new’ Italian carrier replacing Alitalia is called ITA too.

There you go ,learn something every day, I never understood why LATAM had daily flights from Sydney to Auckland, like emerirates apparently it's more cost effective doing a run to nz than it is sitting at syd,LATAM also had cheap as shit buisness class syd to Auckland which would of been cool to check out, these days them being close to that Peru variant of covid not so much

Yep, LATAM was the merger of TAM (Brazil) and Lan Chile (er, obvious ) and Lan Chile had traffic rights to Oz via NZ initially for range purposes on older A342’s. Now the B789 can go non-stop but (pre-Rona at least) they were still via NZ. I don’t know the details but must be fifth freedom rights. You wouldn’t stop if you didn’t have to and couldn’t pick up passengers/revenue.

Keeping safe in Afghan airspace: check this Boeing C-17 Globemaster performing reverse idle tactical descent from 30,000 to 5,000 feet in 2 minutes and not even close to max performance. Watch the wing angle vs the horizon for perspective of descent steepness:

Saw a bit of graffiti on a toilet door in London - "cunnilingus is not an Irish airline".

We must’ve been in different pubs because I saw something similar in a London pub that said: ‘Cunnilingus spoken here’ .

There was a note at the bottom of the toilet door that said "beware of limbo dancers".

They'll take you through it, and you can pay a bit extra to do a wing walk. The 747 has an extra engine attached, to show how they could ferry a complete engine, in a special pod, if needed. Odd to se a five engined 747. They do a spectacular light and sound show in the early evening.

You should come on my dinosaur tour; we spend an afternoon at the Qantas Museum before we head off to Winton.
