Southern Cross II replica of Charles Kingsford Smith’s record breaking Fokker F.VIIb/3m trimotor flew today for the first time after being restored to airworthiness after a crash in 2002. It is a fully rebuilt replica of Smithy’s famous “Old Bus“ Fokker Tri-Motor Southern Cross that completed the first-ever trans-Pacific flight to Australia from the mainland United States, a distance of about 11,670 kilometres (7,250 mi), in 1928. It is based permanently and on display at the HARS Aviation Museum in Shellharbour, just south of Sydney.
