Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

[quote="Key"]That's clear Sjaak, and not what I meant... I meant the slums, the garbage dump and the latrines. :?

Aha :D We'll the good thing is that when you look up in the sunny skies seeing all these colourful birds passing by you don't see the misery down below :wink:

Thank you very much for the info Sjaak. Very informative. Amazing the places we end up in sometimes when chasing aeroplanes.

A shame with the recent violent incidents. That will for sure make things more difficult.

View from the rooftop terrace of the excellent Orchid Hotel, it´s 5 star and expensive,
Wow, a 5 star hotel next to the slumps. How big can the contrast be. Nice report nevertheless Sjaak

Mumbai it's one of the destinations I've in mind for next year. It was excellent to see such detailed report and also the photos showing the spotting locations. This guide is a must read by anyone wanting to go there.

Very well done Sjaak !

Good report and additional photo's Sjaak. You can almost smell the latrines, brings back memories.

As you can see not everybody uses the latrines, no those are not stones being thrown around and yes that is the airport terminal in the background

For those interested, there is also a topic from a year ago on this airport
