Remarks: Pick of the day! This sweet little bird turns onto DEL's runway 29. Surprising how I didn't get too much of heat haze in such boiling weather. Dedicated to Sankalp Sinha and Mayank Khanna. Thanks for the company guys! :) 1600 pixels.

Remarks: This history behind this aircraft is pretty interesting! She started her cargo career by operating for TNT Express, she was then placed in open storage here at SEN where she has remained for nearly 3 years. After this photo was taken a new airline called DystanyAir purcharsed her and was then re-registererd 9L-LEG - a few days after the new registration was applied it was then removed after it had been discovererd that the new registration was already in use on a Iraqi Airways 737. Some weeks after another registration (9L-LFD) was applied. Here she is basking in the sun after having the engine protection covers applied after an Engine run - Canon 300D
