In addition, I am looking at the Internet some more, and there doesn't seem to be too much interest about riding inside an A-380. The A-340-600, which lands at Delhi everyday and manages Mumbai now and then, is already longer than the A-380. I guess we all know that too. Anyways, I shall try to get some night photos on 7th night , at DEL.

The occasion—the second anniversary celebrations of Kingfisher Airlines—the only Indian Airlines which has so far ordered the aircraft. The airport staff has started special inspections of the runways on which the A380 will be landing. A “follow-me” vehicle with support staff from Airbus will escort the aircraft to the parking bay. There will be a full-fledged fire and rescue staff patrolling this 525-seater giant aircraft throughout its stay in India. An extensive watering programming has been organised by Mumbai airport before landing and departure to ensure that areas along the runway and the parking bay are damp in order to prevent any dust damage to aircraft. Delhi Airport executives point out that the runway and taxiway have been equipped to handle this big aircraft. Mumbai Airport executives say the A380 will land on the main runway (09/27) and will exit the runway through taxiway B4 which is the first exit after the intersection of the main runway and cross runway.

No Kingfisher decals. Times Now had good pictures of its thundering down the Delhi runway while an IA A320 was waiting for take-off. Lucky IA passengers and pilots!! Will be near the Haj Terminal. Of course the correspondent made us all laugh. Said it has 800 seats with sauna and lunges and passengers will be having a ball. Also said Kingfisher has announced that it will use the A380 on the Delhi-Mumbai route.

I have a small digital camera, and the photos are being uploaded at http://www.flickr.com/photos/vm2827/ the best I could get, not too good, sorry. Interestingly, there were a lot of people stopping to grab the best photos they could of the whale, people with families et al. I think the chana-moongphali and ice-cream valas will follow soon, then there will be a trafiic situation, and then the cops will prevent people from taking photos eventually.
