What is happening here: Aircraft parked tail to tail?

[Millie]

I was leaving Brisbane last week when taxiing I noticed two planes tail to tail outside my window. I have attached a photo of this and wondered if any member knows what is going on?

Hmm, so they can each get away without ground assistance anytime they want for a quick getaway.....I don't know.

Different runways?

They were still there today too. A few QF 737's sitting off the tarmac area all closed up and clearly not in use as well. Personally never seen that in Brisbane before.

It's an old fashioned duel. At sunrise they'll take 10 paces...

Aren’t these Clive Palmer’s Minerology MD-82 jets? Or ownership unknown hence they remain parked.

Yep, they’ve been there for years.

Also if you look closely as you take off from an A seat (from the opposite end of the city) there is a small plane almost in the water

The small plane almost in the water is a Airport Fire Fighting and Rescue training plane. It is actually within the airport perimeter. They use it for practice.
