Astounding close ups from a wonderfully nostalgic angle for me - Thanks KB - reminds me of the times i used to fly to Zambia- where staircases were the norm...and we got to see aircraft close up with no aerobridges getting in the way... The sunny weather and light coloured tarmac also reminds me of the good Ol days at Bombay Santa Cruz and Sahar as well as Lusaka International Airport...

And if you can - you must let us in on how u managed to get so up close and personal with those magnificent machines especially the hangars et al...I am so curious to know...:)

Also love those snaps Vishal - have seen them before but one can never tire of these huggable airframes...The paws and the nose on the 'Bearbus's (ha ha) engine nacelle are especially hilarious...
Hope they didnt take that DHL 727 with the party cap for a quick fly past. Even a slow one wouldnt work surely...the AI jumbo's smile? cute and rather aristrocratic...
