        • Mihin Lanka flight diverted

          Guys 4R-MRC operating to MAA as MJ129 has been diverted back to CMB according to FR24...
          Any idea what the cause may be? Probably the weather conditions I presume?
          Please update as ill be flying the same route day-after tomorrow

              @Sandaru
              Tamil Nadu is having severe weather conditions and many flights have either been cancelled, delayed or diverted and even schools have been asked to close for 3 days.
              This is according to my friend who flew to MAA yesterday morning
              Check FR24...looks pretty bad

                              I had seen JL operating the Nagoya-Colombo-Entebbe route several times this year.

                                We went directly in the bus. All other aircraft were blocked by ground equipment and I prefer pictures with not a lot ground equipment or light poles in front of it. I made an exception for the AN-8 because these are very rare birds.
                                Next serie of pictures will be the ones from the Aviation Museum. Coming 'soon'
