On 25/11/96 P2-ANG Airbus A310-300 of Air Niugini F/N PG5071 arrived in Adelaide with Michael Jackson. Aircraft left on 27/11/96 for Perth.
The concert stage was at the northern end of Adelaide Oval and the crowd was 30,000. I remember Jackson strutting across the stage in his space suit.
Michael Jackson was also in Adelaide on June 30th, 1973 as part of the " Jackson Five Plus One " tour. The concert was at the now demolished Apollo Stadium in the Adelaide suburb of Richmond. He was aged 14 at the time.
The support group for this 1973 Australian tour was "Mint"
I am still wondering whether a Qantas B767 featured in the 1996 tour.( Or am I thinking of Paul McCartney's tour ? )There was some footage on the weekend showing Jackson stepping off a Qantas aircraft. Maybe he flew to Australia with Qantas.
