If you look closely there are two floors (actually looks like three). It's the landside that has one level.
Come on, we all know it has 2 floors above ground level. I was talking about a floor more than that- it means many things including vertical separation- but i was talking casually about looks there and meant having a replica above of one of the 2 floors below would make it look even more impressive.

Pic thanks to Justbala...

The new KF A330-200 parked at BIAL currently used for staff training and certification on BLR-MAA apparently...

Uncommon number of red cars in the car park. Looks like more than just a co-incidence... could this be staff car parking, the red cars being KF staff cars I wonder...

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

A show car, sometimes called a dream car, is a custom-made automobile created specifically for public display, rather than sale. They are shown at auto shows and other exhibitions.

Show cars generally fall into one or more of three categories:

1) Cars intended to preview an upcoming new production model or redesigned model, either to assess or to whet the public appetite. Such preview show cars may be thinly disguised or slightly retrimmed versions of the eventual production model, painted in bold or unusual colors or fitted with unusual trim to attract attention.
2) Cars intended to assess the public reaction to a type of model, or a particular styling theme or feature. A prominent example was the 1938 Buick Y-Job, a custom-built Buick created by General Motors styling chief Harley Earl for his own use; although it was never produced, it contained features such as hidden headlights that later became GM styling features. Such cars typically are not intended for production themselves, but may become the basis of a production model if demand is high enough. The Dodge Viper is notable example of the latter.
Styling exercises built to reward successful designers, letting them blow off steam with a design more exciting than workaday, "cooking" sedans and trucks. Such exercises also serve to draw attention to the manufacturer's more ordinary products.
