This is a personal account of the author's experiences as flight crew on the Queen of the Skies and is a tribute to the aircraft that changed the world. This book offers insights into the Boeing 747, the air routes, the international destinations and significant events, including a flight deck perspective of the final QANTAS 747 flight that crafted a kangaroo in the sky.
Some recollections are technical, some are observations and some are personal.
Come aboard and share the journey.
