For those who don't know, Qantas once repaired a damaged aircraft that would've otherwise been a write-off for the sake of maintaining their perfect no hull-loss record.

Obligatory Qantas never crashed
Edit: spelling
No u in Qantas. It's an acronym. The Q stands for Queensland.
No u
Hah thanks for that, edited the spelling
To be fair it was cheaper to fix than buy a new one
It's only a matter of time Qantas, you're flying Boeings
In the early 90s, we called Aeroflot Aeroflop because they kept falling out of the sky. I think it was 40+ incidents from 90 to 91.
That's before Boeing started implementing no-holds-barred kapitalism, in an attempt to race to the bottom.
Meanwhile in the states. My parents used to fly me alone when I was 12 on an airline nicknamed Scare-West.
Aeroflot: You guys have landings?
I'm pretty sure passengers of Air France flight 447 from Rio to Paris would have something to say about this meme, if they could still speak
My favourite is, that they managed to hit a landmine years after the war
When being on a Russian government backlist comes in handy
Is aeroflot the euro equivalent of Spirit in the US? Never heard any good stories about flying Spirit.
1976! = oh god
