Some Satellite Pictures of Ilyushin Il 38 Aircraft stationed in Goa Airport. (Just took these By myself) il 38 Aircrafts fly everyday above my House. Can hear their Sound. Very cool indeed to say the Least.

Now il-38 is going to be gradually phased out with P8I Aircraft now.
These Il-38 are a pretty good and Decent ASW(Anti Submarine Warfare) platform but now it's time to Retire them. Also they have already started retiring these Aircrafts if I am Not wrong.

Indian Navy had bought these Aircrafts at a unit cost of approximately 30 million Dollars.

Anyways now 4 P8I will be Stationed in INS Hansa Naval base in Goa here.
