 Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2008 12:08 am Post subject: Kingfisher Airlines First A330 - Training Flight Photos |
 |
|
This morning, 6 of us Bangalore spotters - myself, Nimish, Nikhil, Krishna, Louis and NitinNair visited BIAL for a spotting session.
We got great aircraft shots in fantastic morning sunlight.
However, what we all unanimously considered the real highlight of the morning was that we were able to capture the first of Kingfisher Airlines' A330-200 (VT-VJK) doing training flights.
The A332 is doing training flights between Bangalore and Chennai, doing many round trips a day. The pictures at BIAL this morning showed the 332's second landing for the day, wait on the taxiway and thereafter, it's 3rd takeoff for the day.
My photos of the A332 are uploaded in :

Others, please post your photos as well !!

I think he means training(take off and landing) flight, that's why shuttling between BLR and MAA.
