Spotting at BOM

Recommended Posts

Here are some of my latest A4 shots on Anet.

Absolutely gorgeous shots there, showing very well the different Indian 'tails'... :pardon:

 

TK: no bothering by the locals ? I mean with your expensive equipment e.a. :huh:

 

Vivek: I know one MW-member being extremely happy with the Airbus 340 nose :p

 

CeeBee: when we go there together, spotting next time ? :pardon:

Ah well, back lit...imagine me standing facing WEST...sun is behind me at South East position.

so, side shots for arrivals is a no no....BACK LIT.

Pieter...

I guess the local will look at me like another "locals"...i don't look like a westerner

But if YOU go there...the whole village will drop by and "stare" at you...just say that you are Santa Claus from Dutch!!

 

I just had a simple camera bag...nothing Fancy..since i only used D80 +18-200mm so it doesn't look so outstanding.

Some of them have good English skills...mostly children and they are now having thier Deevali holiday break.

Nice shot TK. If you notice in the top right hand corner of the image, you can see a Kingfisher A330-200 parked at a remote bay. This has been parked since quite a few days, as Kingfisher has delayed the start of their BOM-HKG service because of the present economic crisis.

 

A Go Air (Orange) A320 can also be seen parked at a remote bay in the background (just above the AI A310)

I think its best not to go there for some time considering the recent terror attacks. I haven't gone there since the past month or so. I'll wait till the security situation improves before heading there. Will let you guys know once I get first hand info.

as send to Vishal already, Finnair will send Moomins MD11 OH-LGB next weekend! Arriving the 7th and the 8th at BOM, so if you dare to go... next visits of LGB to BOM, 17 December, 31 December. (Schedule of course can be changed due to technical brake downs.

Great photos TK.

 

I personally loath photos with ugly watermarks... Yours were

very nice to view without the 'other' distraction which is a real

turn off. Names & Credits granted by not thru the guts of the

aircraft please!

 

Cheers Greg

These days, Finnair operates the MD-11 to BOM. Needless to say, we are super-excited at seeing one of the very few passenger tri-holers :pardon:

Love to view your pics, Vivek. BOM is really an excellent choice for traffic variety and colour. Keep 'em comin'.

Hey guys, good shots, not posting much as I am on trip, but almost home now.. :)

I flew LGG now 3 times.

LGG will be the last MD11 to be phased out and other good news for u guys..

Bangkok will be the very last destination for AY M11 but Mumbai will be the 2nd last destination which will be flown up to end 2009 or even January 2010!

 

Cheers

Good to see you flew an old Eastern DC-9-30 as well as the SAS MD-82 :pardon:

 

Vivek,

 

Maybe the only place in the world this (SV&LY) happens ? :pardon:

Still remember the time Lufthansa and Interflug were parked next to eachother too @ AMS in the early 80's !!!

Thanks Pieter! Yes, that symbol reminds me of the old white n blue livery of Aeroflot. :)

 

I wish I get to catch their IL-96 atleast once before they withdraw the BOM service :pardon:
