00:00We're here at Haas today inside John Travolta's plane, the Boeing 707.
00:04It took nearly a decade to arrive here but now it's finally here and the work is underway to
00:09get it back up in shape. Here is John Travolta. All the lighting comes on. We spent most of the
00:18time since we've owned the aircraft getting all the external things to get it ready for a ferry
00:22flight to Australia. When that didn't happen because we could see after COVID there was so
00:27much more airwaters directives to accomplish in areas where we knew it would take a bit of extra
00:36effort so we decided we'd pull it apart and bring it back. So we didn't do anything to the interior
00:43but we will now that we have it here for example getting the window shades,
00:48all areas cleaned and some of the furnishings upgrade various items but we want to try and
00:53keep the period but we want to make it pretty representative of what it looks like now.
00:59Preparing all the controlled surfaces down there, they've been cleaned back,
01:04corrosion treated and repainted ready to go on board. We're working on the wings to get them ready
01:11to fit, moving old tank sealant and things like that to get them ready to go.
01:19And eventually when the people come out from America who've pulled it apart,
01:23they're going to put it together so we don't want anything to be held up while we're waiting
01:29while they're coming. And how exciting is it actually to see you here in Australia?
01:32Fantastic, fantastic. Yeah this was, I worked on this as a newly licensed engineer back in the 1960s.
01:41So yes, it's good and it hasn't been upgraded with glass cockpits or anything like that. It is as it
01:49was.
01:50This is really good.
