FINNAIR 021 seconds before touchdown on Runway 10 at New Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport. This was a nice change of equipment from Finnair to bring the Boeing 757 with Winglets. However, the drama unfolded later in the day while she was preparing for her flight back home. The crew realized that her brakes had jammed so badly to the extent that the aircraft could not be moved from the gates. They declared the aircraft tech and had to bring in spare parts to replace the jammed brakes on the aircraft the next day. Unfortunately, for us spotters who were in the airport for 3 days, the aircraft which flew in the spare parts the next day was OH-LQD, the Unikko liveried Airbus A340-313E. We could not catch the special liveried bird on Indian soil, and that goes down as a miss. I hope some Delhi spotters get the chance of seeing the special livery aircraft again, soon... This shot is, again, dedicated to the Apron Controller who drove me to the M1 holding point (the vantage point) from where I could get these shots!
