|
|
Folks
about a few mins ago... i passed by the Air India Road, Kalina which is adjacent to the Remote Bays near Runway 32.
There are 2 KF a/c parked there as usual, A330-VT VJN and A321.. VT KFN
BUT
today i saw 2 C130s there. regd. 75-1075 and 75-1077, one in Army LIvery ie.. Camoflouge. and otehr in a bluish air force type livery.
I couldnt identify which country do they belong to. Both have extra equipment on their wings which army a/c have. Some exotic stuff for Spotters in BOM this time
EDIT: I FOUND OUT IT IS THE Japan AIr Force C130s.
here is the pic of one of em. credit to the photog.

Last year in December when was in Mumbai i saw an KF A330 stored as i driving by on one of the Kalina roads.
Question being is this the same A330 that was in storage last December or a newer unfortunate bird of the same family ? |

no.. they keep on rotating them.. even this wont stay long in storage as i heard they are starting HKG flights and a/c is a 330.. so even this might find some work now. _________________ ~~~Indian Aviation Photographers~~~ |

The extra equipment that you are referring to are called drop tanks. Used for increasing range of aircraft, can be dropped when fuel is exhausted only during emergency or combat. _________________ India is one of the richest countries in the world.
