The Fuselage is bought by some air hostess training company 100 kms from mumbai. Refer HT Epaper front page for the image of the plane being taken away via the western express highway.

Guessed as much it would be the S2 Boeing 737 that overran the runway, since it was almost a forgone conclusion they would scrap it after letting it rot away for a long time at the airport. just for the benefit of the other users clickin on the link above.. be sure to select the city as Mumbai for it to show the picture.. since its in the MUMBAI EDITION Front page... the link above directly links to the DELHI EDITION. _________________ If it aint Boeing..

I was in Nagpur yesterday ) which can be used. If the bandicoots haven't chewed it up already. Probably easier to make a mmock-up out of aluminium, but I guess having a real airplane is an attraction, too. I think there is one more Air Sahara 737-200 lying in junked shape at DEL, you can see it when you roll past their hangars, and some late night Air Sahara flights end up getting to those bays directly sometimes.

There is a story in the Times of india Bangalore Edition today stating that the plane is stuck in a narrow gully after the driver of the trailer was given wrong directions and went into a dead end instead of turning into the BOM PNQ highway near Chembur. As per reports it is going to be very difficult to revese the vehicle back to the main road. It also mentions the fuselage was bought reportedly for a sum of 59 lakhs.

Yes, this report is there in today's Delhi Edition of the TOI too, so it must be correct? Here is the link:- http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Cities/Mumbai/Planes_late_wings_off_but_fruits_fresh/articleshow/1994561.cms Something seems to be amiss, though. I can not believe that a truck driver or a transport company, especially one put in charge of an oversize movement, would make a wrong turn of this sort. All sorts of police clearances, road route maps, payments en route, clearances, escort vehicles etcetc are required before such a move can even be initiated. I feel that this may have been a deliberate ploy, it happens. To give an example, to move even a 45' container, only 5 feet longer than the standard 40' container, requires all sorts of permissions. To move anything oversize, especially on Bombay roads, takes a lot of planning, paperwork, and must have been done in this case too. Leave alone an airplane, try moving a Delhi registration car on this road at night and see how many times you get pulled over . . . So how did this truck take a left turn on the Duke's Mangola factory road in Chembur? Unless . . .

Chembur now gets an airport, it seems! One thing very apparent is that the road trailer being used to carry the fuselage is absolutely incorrect and probably not legal. The overhang is way over any legally permissible limits. The answer to this whole thing probably lies with the Mumbai Traffic Police. Pulling the trailer out in reverse is not a difficult process, and I wonder why this is not being done, what is the real reason?
