The Flying Kangaroo: Qantas Dash-8s


Australians overseas often look for the familiar kangaroo-tailed Qantas planes at foreign airports (usually huge 747s). Here in Sydney is part of the fleet of domestic regional planes - the dehavilland Dash-8, a twin-engined, medium range, turboprop aircraft. I really like flying in them. I've also flown in them in Canada.
Do you have a favourite aircraft?

  1. Had to laugh when I saw our photos in the portal. Go see!

    Love your photo--colourful and what's not to like about airplanes. Sure I have a favorite; love the parakeet of the fleet, the DC3's of past history. So useful in WWII.
