MUMBAI: Of the hundreds of jets that departed Mumbai on Monday, there was one particular big plane that lifted off the runway and then did a small jig, banking its wings up and down, bidding a final good-bye.
Captured by plane spotters, it was this signature farewell maneuver which signalled that the Air India Boeing 747-400 jumbo jet had made its final departure from India, its home ground for over four decades.
The ferry flight took off for Plaine Field, US, where it will be cannibalised for spare parts.
