I will spare you the long and sordid tale,the gist of which is we had to get from the international terminal to the domestic terminal in pretty short order,
so I didn't bother with pics. On arrival at the domestic terminal, our flight was delayed 1 hour and there wasn't much of a view out of the windows.
All VT- .... SCR , WAI , STG , JBF , SPI , WAJ , INJ , JBC , ALA , EJH , JGM , JBK , SIZ , AYB , PPJ , SPH , SIV , IND , AXG , SCN , EJE , EJK , VJL , JGV , JEH , PPD, and interloper 4X EAP.
We boarded VT SIZ about 10 minutes before the in-laws who were booked on the 14.35 Jet Airways flight.Goa is a mixed military/civil airfield, on the ground were Il 38's ? 08, 01, 06 and 09, and on the civil apron VT INP.
In the middle of 2009 I bought an SBS which I took with us, the idea being, from the apartment we can see the departures, but they weren't close enough to get, The SBS I hoped was going to remedy this.
They depart GOI and pass us about 4/5000 ft and a mile off to the right. So I set the compass at 90degrees to the balcony, set the GPS next to it and with the laptop open at 'Visual GPS' i got a long/lat, which I set the SBS to.
Aerial on the balcony rail and I was all set.
Being a 'holiday destination' its charters/military in the mornings, domestics in the afternoons and military playtime evenings, and this is by no means a complete rundown..
