VH-ECB was one of Qantas’s early Boeing 747-200Bs, delivered in the 1970s when the airline was expanding its global reach. In the 1980s, this aircraft was painted with the “Koala Express” nose art to promote Australian tourism and Qantas’s friendly national image. The jet served on routes connecting Australia with Asia, the Pacific, and North America, becoming a beloved part of the airline’s classic 747 fleet. The polished finish and iconic red tail make this model a tribute to the golden age of Qantas wide-body travel.
