A little post-processing on Photoshop would help these pics a great deal!

Is it just me or there are 2 aircrafts on the same runway in the 3rd pic?

I suppose they must be using runway 27 for take off and runway 32 for landing at that point of time.

The other way round actually.

If you observe all three pics carefully, you will notice that Avi's aircraft took off from Rway 32, turned left, passed the Juhu airfield and then proceeded south towards Goa.

This means that Rway 32 was being used for take-offs and 27 for landings.

You can actually see an aircraft on Rway 32 about to take-off, and you can see the aircraft on Rway 27 about to exit the runway.

Wow - good visual example of simultaneous use of the runways - both safe and efficient.

Hi Gang,

Avijeet sent me an update via email last evening.

According to him, only Runway 32 was in use - for both landings and take-offs. The aircraft seen on 32 is a Sri Lankan A320 that has just landed. The aircraft on Rway 27 is a Jet Airways 737 being moved from their hangar to Terminal 1B.

Also, you can see a Virgin A340-300 holding short of Rway 32 at the extreme right of the picture.

In the VAJJ pic rwy 28-06's threshold on both the sides is so long and the rwy is too short....isn't this something weird?

Yep mate, it looks weird. But there must be obstacles in the approach path hence so much threshold area. And i guess mostly choppers land nowadays so it shud be fine.
