Hi All,
I am starting this thread as a lil tribute to the Air India 747-400s as these Jumbos are being retired from the fleet. You may use this thread to post photos clicked of your encounters with the Jumbos during the last few runs.
Kicking off with two interior shots 
The rear Economy Class cabin of VT-EVA "Agra"
The Executive Class cabin on the upper deck of VT-EVA "Agra"
Enjoy!
- Vivek

A couple more..
The middle Y Class cabin of VT-EVA
Note how the cabin tapers towards the front. Behind those curtains is First Class.

Air India are crazy. Why on earth did AI wait all these years to refurbish the desperately-in-need-of-refurbishment 747-400 (an aircraft that flew most of the flagship routes), and then promptly dispose off them after completing such a superb overhaul 
I have to say, the Economy Class on VT-EVA looks superb. That's really easily the best-looking Economy Class I've seen in a long while. I'll actually stick my neck out and say it's looking better than the 777-200LR/777-300ER Economy Class, which is also quite good. Though maybe the 77L/77W Y screens are bigger and the seat amenities may be better. But I can scarcely believe that that is a photo of an AI 747-400.
Just terribly sad that they're leaving so soon after getting such an incredible interior overhaul done  And just terribly confusing why AI chose to wait so long to do the overhaul

Vivek, nice thread for AI's workhorse for over decade.
Heres one of my favourite snap from the collection. "Konark" has already tucked in reversers and slowed to taxing speed
to take next exit as she majestically poses in front of the famous landmark on a gorgeous evening.
Cheers,
Raj |
