I think TAR789 is right!

This is the sighting photo:

I think the environment really matches to gate 6 (from TAR789's video):

This is hardly a complete study of the usage of Gate 6, but using the flights that Claude_24Hrs found for Krakow-Munich and Krakow-Frankfurt in the Transportation thread, http://flightstats.com shows that Lufthansa 1627 to Munich that departed at 630 AM left from Gate 6.  Lufthansa 1371 to Frankfurt that left at 645 AM left from Gate 7, so it was probably an adjacent gate. Another possible flight is Lufthansa 1365 to Frankfurt that left at 1045 AM left from gate 6 as well, though that might have been too tight of a connection for the 145 PM flight from Frankfurt to Delhi. It arrived in Frankfurt at 1248 PM.

Certainly having all flights from Gate 6 and 7 would make it possible for all teams to be mingling together.

The picture of the TAR producer in Agra that Candi Lee posted (good catch!) shows a box that says AP-3 Grease behind him. A little research shows that AP-3 grease is used to lubricate bearings in electric motors and automobiles among other things. It could mean nothing or it could suggest that there will be a visit to a factory or auto repair place. It could just be something TAR stores in their local India warehouse in case their equipment needs some maintenance.

Or maybe they will repack the bearings on the Taj Mahal.  :o

That's right! It's been speculated about since Georgiapeach announced Uttar Pradesh as a destination.

This definitely has the feeling of another set of season one throwback legs, doesn't it? Delhi, Agra, at a minimum.

More Throwback Season, as Switchback refers to the reused Roadblock task, but there may be one/some of those along the way!

I wouldn't be surprised if India means they included the head shaving again. It is, of course, the most infamous Fast Forward ever!

They will probably not do that as a Switchback ever again unless they use alot of Switchbacks. You know what challenge I want as a switchback? The coconut challenge in the Seychelles in Season 16.
"You don't have enough coconuts."
"What do you mean we don't have enough coconuts? We have plenty."
"No, you don't have enough coconuts."
Lol, that was one of my favorites. Unfortunately, it is probably not going to be visited for a while.

And the humidity rising, woah. This could be interesting, and wishing the teams and crew will be out of harm's way. I just pray there won't be another heat exhaustion incident with physically-draining tasks like in TAR14-Thailand.

And they are the same cities from TAR 1, legs 7 and 8. So I'm not complaining.

In addition to the tropical cyclones in the Western Pacific headed towards different areas of China, we now have an active volcano in Indonesia that is affecting airline traffic, including Bali. It's going to be interesting to see where in fact the Race goes to after India.

I like the route so far:

1. United States ( Los Angeles ) > Brazil ( Rio De Janeiro )

2. Brazil > Argentina ( Buenos Aires )

3. Argentina ( San Antonio de Areco )

4. Argentina > Zambia ( Livingstone )

5. Zambia > Zimbabwe ( Victoria Falls )

6. Zimbabwe > France ( Paris )

7. France > Netherlands ( The Hague )

8. Netherlands > Poland ( Krakow )

9. Poland > India ( Agra )

10. India ( Jodhpur )

11. India > Russia ( Vladivostock ) | Opinion

12. Russia > United States ( Seattle ) | Opinion

We will probably see either western China or Russia, since the weather poses a threat these days. And it would be easier to get back to the US after legs in those 2 countries.

My perfect would be Myanmar, however unlikely.

Weather may delay or change things. Wondering about Guam>Hawaii>Seattle options, (SPEC not spoiling...just me thinking.)

I doubt Russia will be visited this season. I believe the old plan was to visit a city like Beijing, but due to the monsoon, I think the backup plan is to visit western China or Nepal. It would be nice for teams to see (but not climb any part of) Mount Everest. However, I believe it comes down to western China as we already have already visited a new country this season: Zimbabwe. Lhasa maybe?

I believe it would be extremely hard to think of a spontaneous leg in a new, never before visited country.
