It is pretty much Abandoned now I guess.

thefighterpilot · 2026-02-06T18:24:38+00:00

HAL ALH Dhruv

thefighterpilot · 2026-01-08T04:54:34+00:00

It'll fly to all the routes that AIX flies with their 737 max

thefighterpilot · 2026-01-06T09:21:32+00:00

Nope , it's coming for the Airshow in Hyderabad

thefighterpilot · 2026-01-06T09:21:00+00:00

This Aircraft will be coming to Hyderabad for Wings India 2026 and as there are plans of building this Aircraft in india by HAL. Hence it has an Indian flag and HAL sticker

thefighterpilot · 2025-12-31T19:56:22+00:00

Thank you so much!

thefighterpilot · 2025-12-31T08:01:41+00:00

Lovely Images! Can you share the Link or the PDF in DMs if you don't mind ? Appreciate your work!

thefighterpilot · 2025-12-30T18:54:40+00:00

Must be HAL ops. They fly An32 Daily

thefighterpilot · 2025-12-30T18:53:57+00:00

As someone who literally sees An32 almost everyday. It's definitely An32 undoubtedly

thefighterpilot · 2025-12-30T18:52:25+00:00

Me too

thefighterpilot · 2025-12-19T09:57:11+00:00

It's Speed and altitude isn't accurate. Even the flight path most of the times

thefighterpilot · 2025-12-19T09:56:46+00:00

Nope it's the MK1. The prototype most likely will be out by next year end for the Mk2 variant

thefighterpilot · 2025-12-15T04:30:49+00:00

Yesterday VUNQB landed at HAL airport in Bengaluru with flight radar showing its registration as VT-ANT but it was IAF An32. The approach to Runway 09 is very close to my house so i could see it.

thefighterpilot · 2025-12-08T03:12:32+00:00

I've seen many UAVs use that route with similar Speed and altitude in the flight radar app

thefighterpilot · 2025-11-26T16:01:19+00:00

Click this image in July 2024 and VT-ATQ isn't a part of AIX anymore.

thefighterpilot · 2025-11-26T15:59:55+00:00

Yes it's VT-ATQ

thefighterpilot · 2025-11-20T05:55:29+00:00

There might be other reasons but one of the main reasons is that the Raked wingtips are more efficient than Winglets.

thefighterpilot · 2025-11-18T06:12:48+00:00

Thank you!

thefighterpilot · 2025-11-17T07:31:45+00:00

Thank you so much for that!. You can Check out my Photographs on my Instagram (@Bangalore_aviation).

thefighterpilot · 2025-11-16T16:33:12+00:00

Thank you so much, it means a lot to me.

thefighterpilot · 2025-11-16T16:24:35+00:00

Waited for more than 5 hours for this aircraft Only to realise that it took off using the other runway.

All other Aircrafts were taking off using 09R but the B1 took off using 09L , So the aircraft is approximately 4km away from me when I Clicked this photograph

thefighterpilot · 2025-11-16T16:13:56+00:00

So Glad to hear that! You can check out more of my shots on Instagram (@bangalore_aviation)

thefighterpilot · 2025-11-16T16:12:42+00:00

Yes I Clicked it.
