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. - Vivek Back to top avbuff Member Joined: 22 Dec 2006 Posts: 5031 Posted: Thu Jun 05, 2008 2:47 pm    Post subject: The pictures are certainly very nice.

Wow - good visual example of simultaneous use of the runways - both safe and efficient. _________________ We miss you Nalini!

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. - Vivek Back to top SEANDSILVA Member Joined: 09 Jul 2007 Posts: 751 Location: BOM (VABB) Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2008 3:50 pm    Post subject: vivekman wrote: Also, you can see a Virgin A340-300 holding short of Rway 32 at the extreme right of the picture. - Vivek U caught me napping on that one mate, yeah, one must have beaddie little eyes to observe minute details like that!

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.
