India - May 1, 2016
Caption
22 all-Indian crew with Captain Ramesh Krishna from Hyderabad & First Officer Irfan Rizvi from Mumbai bring in the Inaugural Etihad A380 to the Home of VJ on Maharashtra Day. The a/c is seen here seconds from touchdown on rwy 27 at 6:39pm in beautiful dusk lighting. The water canon salute was refused by Etihad in light of a severe drought in the state. While most spotters will relish the A380, I will greatly miss my beloved A340s as EY regularly operated their A343, A345 & A346s here :-(
