Any idea if those TNT TU-204s been 'dumped' as in stored , or are they still operational ? They look to be in fairly good condition. |

Wow 747-237, you could make out the fact that the latter was an `M' model from this distance, and through the haze! Or is it quite obvious - the `M' model was the only one that ever saw service outside the USSR - at least in the middle east?
Cheers, Sumantra. |

| I don't think you can see the difference unless the engines are visible as the M model has bigger engines. Unless there is some other feature that differentiates the two. Then again, most models that are still around are M models. |

Hey Sumantra, the IL-62 belongs to Alim Airlines. There's only one IL-62 still in ALIM colors (SU-ZDA), which is stored at CAI, & it's an 'M' model. |

Always nice to have a change of scenery from the repetitive (but still great  ) BOM pics Himmat. Very nice... never seen pics of CAI before.

Nice shots. Interesting airport. Sad to see the old 707s sitting there collecting dust ...and could that new control tower they are building be any taller!!? Yikes!
