Remarks: Close encounters of the heavy kind! "Virgin 300" makes a greaser of an entrance on arrival from London-Heathrow. A few seconds later, the smell of burnt rubber hit me! "Indian Princess" is the oldest A340-600 in Virgin's fleet, and still in the old colours. [Canon EOS 40D + EF 70-200mm f/4L USM]
Remarks: Indian Princess VS300 smoking runway 28, deploying the reverser's even before the NLG touches down. Dedicated to the wonderful members of the APIF team & the DIAL apron team.
Remarks: [1600px] Indian Princess arrives from LHR as VS300. Would like to dedicate this shot to my dear friend Vishal Jolapara who is a big fan of the A340-600. And maybe fan is an understatement..
Remarks:"Indian Princess" taxing to runway 27R for takeoff as Virgin 900 to NRT at 14:01 hrs local time. Picture taken from Renaissance Hotel, 1st floor.
