Bengaluru to Mumbai by MD-11 (what else? :) )

I believe some Fedex cargo departing Bengaluru goes to Mumbai, so here we are :cool:

Taxiing out. There's a bit of haze and overcast, but not much of a factor seeing as we're IFR anyway (always?)

Took the picture too soon; before the gear swing.

At cruise altitude, the Indian coastline can be seen at the horizon.

One of your shortest "voyages" in this Cargo Plane...🙂...(between two of the busiest metropolis in the country)...Mumbai more so than Bengaluru, so your (opening) hunch is probably correct...!

Excellent!!! Love those touchdown shots!!
