#PlaneSpotting #MumbaiAirport #Boeing747 Once upon a time Saudi Arabian Airlines operated multiple passenger Boeing 747 flights (747-100, 747-200, 747-300 and 747-400) every day to Mumbai. . Since 2013 they operate just a handful a year. . And spotting them is really hard as they aren’t always scheduled flights. . On this day (7th June, 2019), we were very lucky to spot one on a clear sunny morning in Mumbai. . This airframe first flew on 5th March, 2004 and was originally delivered to Air France as F-GITJ on 31st March, 2004. . She operated Air France’s last commercial Boeing 747 flight on 11th Jan 2016. . She was stored at Tarbes Lourdes Airport for a few months before Air Atlanta Icelandic picked her up and leased her to Saudi Arabian Airlines on 29th July, 2016 as TF-AAL. . This airframe is currently over 15 years old. . She is powered by 4x GE CF6-80C2 Engines. Each engine has a Static thrust of 59,000 lbs. . Seen here leading Mumbai Airport’s famous departure queue as she taxis for her flight back to Jeddah as SV9315. . Enjoy the sound of her engines. ;) Check out my latest photos and stories - * AirplanePictures - http://www.airplane-pictures.net/photographer.php?p=10149 * Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/aviationfreak_/ * Airliners - http://www.airliners.net/user/vaibhavshah57/profile/photos Equipment Used : * Canon EOS 60D * Canon 24-105mm F4 L IS USM * Canon 70-300mm IS USM Easy Lemon 30 Second by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1200078 Artist: http://incompetech.com/
