Bring back TAA! I hope you don't mean their fares as that would be one bit of nostalgia I could do without!

Fixed it for ya

I love the retrojets. Will be looking forward to seeing it once QF unveil it

Given that Australian Airlines introduced the 737-400 to Australia I thought it might have been nicer to have the aircraft in an early TAA (with their version of the Kangaroo giving a visual Linke to QF) and have an A380 in the retro QF scheme

 

[harvyk]

Depending on what time period their chose, a 737 would be pretty appropriate (similar size and shape to a 707). A380 wouldn't be right, but a 747 would look good in it if it was an original 747 livery.

I wonder if RedRoo should get into the spirit with a retro avatar:

 

[docjames]

I wonder if there'll be an unveiling ceremony (and whether QF via RedRoo can arrange a competition for AFF members to win an invite.....)

It is already more then likely to have a retro cabin crew on board so all QF needs to do is supply then with retro uniform to complete the experience

Harsh, but fair.

Nah, it was said tongue in cheek.

I'm very excited about the retro-liveried plane, and hope it makes an appearance in LRE at some stage for a photo-op with some other retro-schemed planes.

Don't want to steal Red Roo's thunder, but here she is:

You know what - I thought it would look silly but in my opinion it actually looks pretty good. Will make a few people look twice.
