Remarks: View from a Double-Decker BEST Bus, looking down BOM/VABB's Main Runway 27. Reverse Ops are currently underway due to this being Winter in Mumbai, and winds blowing from Land to the Sea. Jet Airways 117 Heavy from LHR is exiting the Active after Landing Rwy 09, while Kingfisher's A32X has Lined-up Rwy 09 for yet another Domestic Departure. As evident, early Winters can be really very HOT! Rwy 27 was notified as a sub-standard Rwy in many Airline Training Manuals when this photo was shot, but has since been re-surfaced and made Code F Compliant.
Remarks: Delta's 777 N867DA is about to lift off runway 31L outbound for some distant land far from New York. Notice the really cool wing reflection in the engine nacelle (1200x800 pixels).
Remarks: Rotation 200 feet from me on a warm day in late November...how cool is that? This close-up clearly shows the exhaust stream and how powerful it is (1200x800 pixels).
