New promo decals on QF aircraft

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Just noticed on Channel 9 Today the weather report was coming from a Qantas hangar (in SYD) with aircraft in the background showing 'thegreatcrusade' lettering on lower fuselage and what looked like a rugby ball. The rego etc was not shown and the weather girl "Emma' then went to the cockpit where 2 'players' were sitting in the pilot's seats.

Any info on aircraft? and is this part of the Rugby world cup later this year in NZ?

I saw it too Pete & from what I saw, it looked like a 737-800 cockpit.

It is a B737-800, promoting the Wallabies with ZK-*** rego.:rolleyes:

Cheers guy's

Can't believe it is 8 years since we held the World cup here with lot's of bizjets and from memory, an Air France B777 turned up.

I was a 'Pom' then and had a few cheers when 'we' won, much to the annoyance of my Irish wife and her sister and her then husband. Became an Aussie the following year.

ZQF is the aircraft - it was having a media event this morning and operated to AKL today.

Decal is for the Rugby World Cup.

Its kind of funny that they have painted wallaby decals on an NZ registered aircraft.

Stir up the Kiwi All Black's fans:D

Need an inflight shot to see the whole story or a good angle on the ground.

It doesn't look as extravagant as the one they did on the 767 a few years back, this one is a bit boring

If the union had a clue they'd point that out in a press release. It's safe to assume the media will never get it otherwise.

Chris B,

im sure theyre onto it already!

That was the first thing that came into my mind too- how ironic it was that they put this on a jetconnect plane.. what an absolute joke!:eek:
