And this was another special flight. My first time onboard any form of an inaugural flight! This is Vistara's first ever flight from Kolkata. This (almost) made me forget about the eventful first flight I had with Vistara...

I have been getting really late in my reading (not to mention the other `R'), and it shows. What a superb trip report: an inaugural is always exciting, and to have it from a master writer, it is even better! It just felt like being thee with you. Typically JB-esque, again: lovely wing shots, and food pictures, and to cap it with some lovely descriptions, and the usual JB-esque humour: we have a winner! Lovely Dobby pic, with him in a broody mood. Seq 1: lovely! Chocolates: nice How can you refuse a second helping? Nice that you got the AI B77W in your pictures! The water cannon: a bit closer, and the two engines would have sprayed each other Your photos of the brand-new plane coming in...were lovely. The composition in your pictures of the three FSCs was lovely. The sharklet, the winglet and the tail. jbalonso777 wrote: Air India's B77W will be chasing us to DEL Hmm...who ended up chasing whom? jbalonso777 wrote: They were in good spirits as water bottles were distributed They would be in deep waters had spirits been distributed Lovely pictures and descriptions of the food: Vistara did a very good job there. jbalonso777 wrote: there was new feeling in my left shoulder which... Eek...thanks once again for taking the time and effort to curate a delightful trip report. Cheers, Sumantra.

Spotting and in-flight pictures were great! I also loved the pilot's detailed announcement; I haven't heard such a detailed announcement ever. Most pilots just stick to the essentials: quick weather and ETA information. _________________ Best regards, Ananth Back to top jbalonso777 Member Joined: 05 Jul 2012 Posts: 1501 Location: Never, never land Posted: Fri Jun 23, 2017 8:53 pm    Post subject: Re: Summer '16 Part 8: Vistara's inaugural out of CCU! sumantra wrote: I have been getting really late in my reading (not to mention the other `R'), and it shows.

It is truly encouraging to read through these -Never say no to chocolates! -Oh boy, I wonder if any firetrucks have in fact managed to spray each other! LOL! -AI B77W chased us, but beat us to arrival at DEL. #B77W power! -If only spirits were on Indian domestic flights....wait no that's a bad thing! AnanthMohanram wrote: Really nice TR!

One of the more comprehensive announcements for sure....hopefully more pilots around the world do this _________________ http://www.youtube.com/c/JishnuBasu777 Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Airliners-India.com Forum Index -> Trip Reports All times are GMT + 5.5 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum New Members----------------Sign-up Guidelines Airliners-India----------------Civil AviationNon AviationTrip ReportsMilitary Aviation & SpaceInternationalAviation Polls & PreferenceTech/OpsAviation PhotographyEditorial/Analysis/ArticlesAviation HobbyAviation LawAviation Questions & CareersSite Related Flickr Group----------------Photo of the Month My Message Board----------------Pin Up  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © phpBB Group.
