It really isn't that long ago that Brisbane Airport had regular classics flying around. We still have some (B733s and B734s) but go back 3-6 years and we still had regular B732s, B742s, B743s, B727s and MD80s flying around. We still have two MD-80s based in BNE however they haven't flown for over a year, and we still have a 727 base here however it is no longer airworthy. Anyway here are some of my photos of these classics.
