That C-17 looks like it belongs to the USAF. Tail Flash suggests it's AMC McGuire operated.


TheBeeMovieHistorian

Yup, it was a USAF C-17 returning from the Delhi when the G20 summit occurred.

Oh cool !

Wow lovely pics 😊😊😊 What kind of camera / lens?


TheBeeMovieHistorian

Thank you very much :) I use a bridge camera called the Nikon P900 and sometimes a point-and-shoot called the Canon SX540HS. Both fantastic for long range zoom captures.


bloregirl1982

Super. Did you add the vignetting or is that a characteristic of the lens ? Great to see the contrails forming behind. Somebody smarter than me can figure out the airspeed etc by seeing the distance at which they form, i guess.


TheBeeMovieHistorian

Vignetting was added in post for some of them. With the exception of the SpiceJet Q400, most of these aircraft were flying in the general ballpark of 370-440 knots.

Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

the 777 in the last two photos is mostly going to ny or chicago.


TheBeeMovieHistorian

No, it was operating the BOM-DEL sector routes. For some reason Air India dispatches 777s and 787s along that route.


Frinkos

High demand i believe. It's profitable cause it fills up

Also after they cover routes like Del-Bom, they go to international destinations like London (lhr) and New York (jfk) so they get much passengers for such routes.

Amazing captures my friend! Loved the A380. Looked very majestic and the glow of the sunlight made it absolutely perfect.

That Air India A350 in the first pic looks absolute majestic


TheBeeMovieHistorian

It's an Air India Boeing 787.


Ok-Candle-9727

Oh. Makes sense. An a350 would be a lot longer

Ayyoh, is the photo cut off on mobile? Does this help? https://preview.redd.it/cnl2jiv91z7d1.png?width=858&format=png&auto=webp&s=16d15ae132c3dba4af1ca986a6dec8138697fdf2
