L/N 21 won't be Qantas, it will be JetStar - JetStar are getting the first 15 frames (I think thats the number) of the Qantas order.

L/N 23: China Eastern (35°00'N, 105°00'E lies in China, and 90° is the heading for East)

L/N 24: JetStar (Chuck a shrimp on the barbie is whats being referred to, though any self respecting Aussie will tell you we eat prawns, not shrimp, oh and we drink the best beer, that's why we export that s***)

L/N 25: Air India (goes without saying really)

L/N 26: Ethiopian Airlines (again fairly obvious)
