The Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and ministers were at Longreach to view the Qantas Founders Museum's newest attractions - their new 'Luminescent Longreach' night experience and Super Constellation display.

'Luminescent Longreach' is projected under the museum’s new Airpark precinct which includes a Boeing B747, B707, Super Constellation and DC3.

In Qantas’ centenary year, historic aircraft have been converted into high tech 3-Dimensional mapped digital canvases for a world-class light and sound experience celebrating its birth in outback Queensland and it’s rise to a leading international airline.

From the Wednesday 1 July, 'Luminescent Longreach' – a spectacular night time light and sound experience designed to delight, entertain, inform, and move – will be open to the public.

After spending the night, then on Wednesday 24 June, both VH-SGY and VH-SGQ departed Longreach Airport and called into Barcaldine Airport before they both returned to Brisbane.
