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. November 23, 2009

Beautiful old lady.Super angel.Soon we will miss it November 19, 2009

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 :) November 18, 2009

Nothing beats a good ol' 741 roaring out of good ol' BOM in pleasant evening light! Impressive shot, Devesh! November 18, 2009

Beautiful shot! Shows the majesty of the classic 747s as it reaches for the skies. November 17, 2009

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. :) :) November 17, 2009

Great shot Devesh! Is this location accessible to the public? I was in BOM too for a few days from the 11th Nov! November 17, 2009

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 November 17, 2009
