AGP Vintage Aircraft Display

Noticed at yesterday's Melbourne AGP. Could I be mistaken? was that a Qantas flyover showing off a 20 year old 747. How to impress the millions of viewers around the world with their latest technology

Old?? It was a newer 744 ER VH-OEB. Not that old.

They flew it to and from SYD for the display, around 22 tonnes of fuel used!! Next they'll be complaining about fuel prices..
