VH-CZB taxies for take-off. The DC-9 was rugged, reliable and profitable for Australian airlines but its pressurisation on descent caused painful earache among susceptible passengers. TAA would install new pressurisation in the 1980s but Ansett opted instead for new 737-200s as part of a deal covering 727s and 767s as well.

A display of classic airport equipment, with an Ansett-ANA DC-6B as its centrepiece. VH-INA it was involved in a drama on April 14, 1964, when a propeller blade detached on take-off from Melbourne-Essendon , wrenching the No.3 engine from its upper mountings. It was hanging too precariously to attempt a landing, so the pilot flew out over Port Philip Bay. VH-INA was then put through a series of dives and pull-outs until the engine dislodged. The DC-6B landed safely back at Essendon. VH-INA was sold in December 1966 to Far Eastern Air Transport as B-2003.
