The Air India long range flight from Mumbai to Newark gracefully takes off as it heads away into the dark. Listen to the sound of the roaring Rolls Royce engines of the Boeing 777 as they thrust the plane into the sky. ----------------------------------- One evening, I had gone to my friend's house in Santacruz, and from the terrace you can see the planes taking off. I had spent the night there. We were on the terrace from 11 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. watching all the International flights take off. It was a pleasure watching each plane taking off and roaring over our heads, as they passed under the moon and then slowly disappeared into the night towards its destination. We then came to his house and slept for an hour. At 4:15 a.m. we went back to the terrace to wait for the incredible Emirates A380 to take off. It is a massive double decker plane. It was worth disturbing our sleep to watch this takeoff. Finally at 5 a.m., we retreated back to our beds. We were not supposed to wake up till 9. But at 7 a.m., we realised that the wind direction had reversed and they had started using the runway in the opposite direction. So planes were landing from this side instead of taking off. We rushed back to the terrace to see planes coming in on their final approach. We got barely 3 hours of sleep that night, but it was really worth it. One of my most memorable nights. We saw a variety of different airlines : Air India, Jet Airways, Indigo, Spice Jet, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, Swiss, Malaysian Airlines, Emirates, Cathay Pacific, Lufthansa, British Airways, Air France, United Airways, etc. ..and a variety of different aircraft : B737-800 B747 B777-300 B777-300ER B787 (Dreamliner) A319 A320 A330-200 A330-300 A380 That was one hell of a night, I really enjoyed my friend's company, I thank him for the amazing time!
