Guys - I'm going to be in BOM from the 24th to the 30th of December - doing the standard VFR circuit. Wondering if there's a chance to meet a couple of A.netters for a drink/meal - that would be splendid! I might not have the time to go out for a full-fledged spotting session.
I'd def drop by to meet you for a few minutes.if you are staying near the Airport area.I just hope the Fog delays are not too bad at BOM else I'm stuck at the Tarmac.
lol! how rude! don't worry! just call my secretary and take an appointment, give her details of ur visit, when u want to meet, how long u intend to meet and where u want to meet! hahaha!!!!! cheers!!!
Would love to join the meet but just returned back to Singapore from Bombay on a very tight trip. Maybe next time.
Mel while my plane was taxing for take off I saw a 747-300 passenger version in white color with no name only the registration number any clue to whom it belongs and what the aircraft is doing there. It was parked at the apron where most aircrafts are parked.
Also saw VM's new toy with just UB written across & a twin engine small aircarft with United states of America painted across took off before us could not make out the manfuacturer of the aricraft.
i was on ramp that night and i concur.. that aircraft is the Air Atlanta Icelandic lease to Air India for the Hajj operations. i could not get the rego but i should able to get details today.
also what you might be referring to about Vijay Mallya's personal UB aircraft is maybe the A319 corporate jet that he has VT-VJM.. it was used that night for a personal flight of his... i dont know the destination but he had a crew of 2 airhostesses and 2 pilots.. so i think it was a short foreign trip since he departed from the international terminal 2A
the current pics of that aircraft show it without its complete livery with the waves/stripes running across much like Air New Zealand type designs
