Juhu

I remember when I was a sprog Second Officer on the 707 on my first flight into Bombay the crusty old skipper told me the tale of the Comet I think it was that landed at Juhu instead of Bombay (it's on short final centreline 09). Suitably forewarned I landed at the correct airport - not difficult as we were 5 in the cockpit in those days -Capt, 2 F/O one of whom navigated, E/O and me under suspicion. Had a look on Google Earth if it's still there, it is and you can see they've painted JUHU giant size on the threshold. I reckon the Bally Colonel should get his squaddies out there with buckets of white paint so it does'nt happen again.
