  • 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?

        @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'

                              Is it going to fly again?

                                They raised anough money to put it back in order and to fly it again. Hope to see this one back up in the air soon.
