Folks

about a few mins ago... i passed by the Air India Road, Kalina which is adjacent to the Remote Bays near Runway 32.

There are 2 KF a/c parked there as usual, A330-VT VJN and A321.. VT KFN

BUT

today i saw 2 C130s there. regd. 75-1075 and 75-1077, one in Army LIvery ie.. Camoflouge. and otehr in a bluish air force type livery.
I couldnt identify which country do they belong to. Both have extra equipment on their wings which army a/c have. Some exotic stuff for Spotters in BOM this time Smile



EDIT: I FOUND OUT IT IS THE Japan AIr Force C130s. Smile


here is the pic of one of em. credit to the photog.

Last year in December when was in Mumbai i saw an KF A330 stored as i driving by on one of the Kalina roads.
Question being is this the same A330 that was in storage last December or a newer unfortunate bird of the same family ?

no.. they keep on rotating them.. even this wont stay long in storage as i heard they are starting HKG flights and a/c is a 330.. so even this might find some work now.

The extra equipment that you are referring to are called drop tanks. Used for increasing range of aircraft, can be dropped when fuel is exhausted only during emergency or combat.
