I enjoy the pictures despite having a meagre download allowance on my mobile/tablet, and I can always go into my profile and turn off image display in posts if it bothers me ;).

A bit of an overdue update, they were moved off airport last month to a private property.

Quote:

PEOPLE have lined to the streets to catch a glimpse of a Boeing 737-200 as it left Perth Airport and hit the open road bound for its new permanent home in a paddock in York.

The jet airliner left the airport just after 11am and is travelling along Roe Hwy and Great Eastern Hwy on its way to the White Gum Air Park in the Avon Valley.

The plane, once the pride and joy of the low-cost OzJet fleet, has been parked at Perth Airport since the airline went into administration in 2009.

Since then it has deteriorated and accumulated parking fees in excess of its value.

"pride and joy" ?? More like "disappointment and misery" for anyone that was left owed money but OzJet.
The people of Perth must be awfully bored if they lined up to watch these ancient hulks being carted away :eek:

Hi Rampdog

I live in Perth and can assure you that I was one of the hundreds of thousands of people who DID NOT line the streets !

The "West" has exaggerated again.
