Beautiful shot! Shows the majesty of the classic 747s as it reaches for the skies. |

Thanks Nitin. As an experienced Mumbai spotter you probably would know what we went through for this picture. Standing on a mound of waste (inorganic and organic -- animal and human), the stench, surrounded by hundreds of crows, and security folks paranoid enough to shoot first and ask questions later. :) :) |

Great shot Devesh! Is this location accessible to the public? I was in BOM too for a few days from the 11th Nov! |

What a cracking shot Mr Devesh! This is definitely one of the best rotation shots that I have seen from India! Thanks for sharing and regards, Aalok |

Nice shot; The local spotters in Mumbai stand on all the stuff you mentioned almost every time they go for spotting. Doing such hard work only deserves good quality shots from Mumbai. But the best thing is that no one has mentioned about it so far :) |

Nothing beats a good ol' 741 roaring out of good ol' BOM in pleasant evening light! Impressive shot, Devesh! |

Thanks to everyone for their comments. Spotting in Europe, USA, and Australia is so well promoted that most spotters cannot fathom the crap we spotters in India have to go through. :)
Efforts at Bangalore have paid fruit. The authorities at Bengaluru International Airport right from the CEO on down recognised the positive benefits of spotting and became the first airport in India to push for and obtain an officially recognised spotting group. Now efforts are on at Mumbai. Hopefully we can help replicate the efforts at Delhi, Hyderabad and other airports as well. |
