My dad worked for TAA from the 60's to the 90's, and as a kid we did a lot of flying on DC9's and 727's. I loved visiting the guys up the front and the flight engineers always loved to tell the kids stories and point out all the bits and pieces that make an aircraft fly. TAA even had a 'Junior Flyers' club and I still have my old plastic wings tucked away in a box of goodies in my study. Really great memories.
Years later, I decided to fix em not fly em and I'm passionate about getting kids involved in work experience to hopefully ignite a fire in their bellies (like the one that was ignited in mine).
Good on that QF crew and good on VHOBI for posting such a positive story
