Merged: Fifty years of Jets across the Pacific.
QF have a
PR piece out celebrating 50 years of jet services across the Pacific.
About Qantas - Newsroom - Media Releases
It contains this gem
Qantas was the first airline in the world to operate commercial passenger jet services across the Pacific and the first non-US airline to operate jet aircraft.
Bit tough on BOAC and the Comet.
Yes I know they meant QF was first non-US airline to fly the 707, but that's not what they wrote.
