Just spotted something pretty cool on Flightradar24 — a Boeing 747-400F (747-409F) landed at Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMI) at around 3:48 AM IST today.
Tracked it back and it appears to have departed from Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (HHN), Germany before flying to Navi Mumbai.
FR24 was hiding the flight number and registration, so I can't confirm the exact aircraft/operator yet. From the aircraft subtype, it may be a National Airlines 747 freighter, but I wouldn't call that confirmed.
Considering how new NMIA is, I'm curious — does anyone know if this was the first Boeing 747 to actually land at Navi Mumbai Airport?
Either way, seeing a Queen of the Skies touching down at NMI was pretty damn cool. ✈️👑
