I think they'll give it one, like I said, the trucks will have to be on standby anyway. Morris, wasn't there a retiring Qantas capt get a send off as well last year, even ATC said it was a pretty poor effort considering they didn't get the proper arc.

The ARFF have no need to be on standby for it's arrival unless it declares a PAN or emergency. It's just another aircraft.

And if the Indian's don't want their aircraft to be sprayed, then it won't be sprayed. It's up to the airline whether they'll allow the aircraft to be sprayed on arrival. It's interesting to see numerous photos on the net of their B787 getting a water salute in other ports, so you never know, they might have a change of heart.

Damn, if it can't survive a water cannon, how will it survive heavy rain.
