Here in India we proudly celebrated our 77th Independence Day, marking 76 years of freedom.
The theme being ‘nation first, always first’, an integral part of the broader “Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav” Celebration!
It was amazing to have over 30+ pilots join us on a flight from the capital of India, New Delhi all the way to the city of dreams, Mumbai, with various Indian airlines! From SpiceJet Q400’s to Air India’s massive 747 we had a large variety of aircraft join us on this flight!
Special thanks to @Magician , @Adii , @IFATCLee3440 and @alexev for helping us out by providing ATC service from GTS to centre. It would’ve been chaotic without y’all 😆!
Again thanks to @Magician for taking the initiative for creating this event!
Enjoy the pics!

I finally get to enter the line again (moved out to an open ramp like area to get all the shots you see above (: )
