New training facility at MEL

[tuapekastar]

Might be a nice show when taxiing or landing/taking off. Wonder if it replaces the fuselage that sits near the Sunbury Road.

If you've visited Melbourne Airport in the past few months and wondered why an enormous, rust-coloured plane is sitting outside on the tarmac, wonder no more.

It's not an art installation. It's a full-sized mock-up aircraft fuselage that from mid-March will be laid with gaslines and set alight – like a giant barbecue – for use in aviation rescue and fire fighting (ARFF) training
