That is like a doctor saying " People with plaster all over them look so good"
But the lady looks sexy |

The last one after this bird will be VT-ALR "Meghalaya" (777-300ER).
Wish they called it "Meghawati Sukarnoputri".
After this we'll have to watch Air India and Boeing decide on whether to call the next 6 777 aircraft on order as either cancellation or deferment.
Boeing would like to use the D-word though. |

I think VT-ALR "Meghalaya" is being preped for delivery soon. She was moved from the flightline yesterday.
KCM-any clues on the delivery date ?
KPAE will look very different soon, with absolutely no AI tails after ALR leaves.
KCM - any update on the fate of the last 6 77Ws :
VT-ALS 36317 APR 10
VT-ALT 36318 MAY 10
VT-ALU 36319 JULY 10
VT-ALV 36320 NOV 10
VT-ALW 36321 MAY 11
VT-ALX 36322 AUG 11 |

There's runway closure from September 2 to 12, but scheduled tentatively for Sept. 17 -- VT-ALR.
Air India and Boeing still in discussion for the last 6. AI wants cancellation, Boeing is pushing hard for deferment till late-2011-2012.
Will reconfirm all this. |
