Notes:

Flying in for runway 09 and far too low, but I am not complaining :-) Any lower, and this place would have become the St. Marteens of India! What you see below is the Western Express highway, and running parallel to it is the Western Railway (not visible). Later that week, I happened to be driving down this same stretch of road, when a Jet 77W appeared out of nowhere and to my astonishment was still lower than this, and flew RIGHT OVER us. I was doing about 75-80, and could only see the Triple7 for a fraction of a second. What an amazing feeling! Mom sitting besides me was literally stunned.

Nice one Aalok. Well timed and framed photograph. As Murt said that nice to see you uploading again. Look forward to more. That 77W must have been some experience. Cheers!
