HARS are amazing with the aircraft they have, and they just seem to keep on arriving.
With the planned HARS museum at Parkes, NSW, it just keeps on getting better and better.

HARS to receive John Travolta Boeing 707

Actor John Travolta says he hopes to personally deliver his ex-Qantas Boeing 707 that he has decided to donate to the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society (HARS).

The keen pilot said the 707-138B, registered N707JT, would be well looked after at HARS’s facility at Albion Park given so many of its volunteers were former Qantas employees.

“The aircraft currently requires a lot of work to be restored to a safe flying state and having seen first hand the dedication and passion of people at HARS, I have no doubt this beautiful and historical aircraft will be flying again,” Travolta said in a statement on his website over the weekend.

“HARS have an impressive track record of restoring historical aircraft and I have personally flown in a Super Constellation that they restored to flying condition from almost nothing.

“I am hoping to be part of the crew to fly the aircraft to Australia, supported by well qualified and experienced pilots and engineers.”

N707JT is a great addition to the HARS collection - I look forward to its arrival at Illawarra Regional.

Seen here at the Qantas Jet Base on 16th November 2011
