Last Landing for Qantas' Oldest Aircraft

Qantas, Australia’s flag-carrier airline, retired its oldest aircraft on Sunday, March 8. After 25 years of flying, the aircraft, a Boeing 747-400 called the City of Canberra, will become the first 747-400 in the world to go on public display. The plane flew in to New South Wales’s Illawarra Regional Airport, which houses an aviation museum.

Thousands of people gathered at the airport to watch the plane land on the regional airport’s narrow runway. Credit: YouTube/GamaVideoProductions
