A very Happy New Year to all Avgeeks and my Followers!!! As we welcome 2026, I coincidentally received my first 2 Indian Airlines aircraft simultaneously in a box on New Year’s Eve to welcome 2026. This was also the very day when the longest hijack of the world, which lasted for a week, came to its end with the dawn of the new millennium, more than 25 years ago, as the people onboard stepped out to freedom after being trapped for a week onboard #ic814 , an Indian Airlines @Airbus #A300 flying from Kathmandu to Delhi in 1999. My highest respect goes to the crew for the suffering and the tough time they withstand to ensure the safety of everyone onboard. This is to honour everyone who was onboard that flight and it makes me very proud that I will have a part of history in my collection forever… So talking about the models, I received 2 Indian Airlines Airbus #A320 aircraft in the original livery in 1/200 and 1/400 scale this evening and there are 2 Indian Airbus #A320 aircraft with the special pre-merger livery between Indian Airlines and @airindia in the background, welcoming and saluting these 2 gorgeous and historic birds in my collection. Looking forward to get the Indian Airlines Airbus A300 model soon… More posts to come, and until then,
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone…✈️
Here’s the latest edition to my @airindia fleet, which is the gorgeous @Airbus #A350-1000. Looking forward to see this aircraft flying over the Indian skies with this stunning new livery of Air India!✈️
I just received this gorgeous @Airvistara_@Airbus#a321neo VT-TVE, @Airvistara_ 50th aircraft in their fleet. So sad to see @Airvistara_ gone so soon, and will be dearly missed. Therefore…Glad to receive @airindia@Airbus#a321neo in the ex @Airvistara_ livery…✈️
P.S. I flew on this aircraft on @Airvistara_ #UK08 as they celebrated their 8th anniversary in the sky…check out the amazing experience as we painted the skies aubergine on https://t.co/5s9tvOtkpE

Why I Chose Silence Over Spotlight – A Message from the Heart
⸻
Hey everyone.
You’ve probably been wondering why I didn’t go live at the Paris Airshow 2025, the biggest aviation event of the year. You know how much I was looking forward to it. You know how much I had planned, prepped, scripted — I had cameras, microphones, tripods, batteries charged, and my heart full of excitement.
But then something happened.
Something that shook the entire aviation community.
AI171, an Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner registered VT-ANB from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick crashed.
And just like that… everything changed.
And in that moment, going live from an airshow just didn’t feel right anymore.
⸻
This channel is about more than views.
It’s about passion. Purpose. Humanity.
It’s about celebrating aviation — but never forgetting the lives who give it meaning.
So I took a step back.
To process.
To pause.
To remember.
That delay in videos? That wasn’t laziness. That was grief. That was respect.
⸻
To the families, the crew, the ones we lost — this silence was for you.
And to all of you watching: thank you for understanding.
The videos will come. They’ll be worth the wait. But right now, I’m not here to entertain. I’m here to be human.
Fly safe. Live deeply. And never take life — or your next takeoff — for granted.
Warm Regards
Abeer Magoo
