Tokyo-Narita 17-03-2017 (photo heavy!)
Hello everybody,
this week I'm working to fix an item on my bucketlist; spotting at and visiting Tokyo. Here's an impression of my first afternoon at Narita. I arrived at 10.30 with SAS via Copenhagen from Amsterdam. After passport control and customs I went up to the observation deck on Terminal 1:
1. Narita is a heaven for Dreamliner-lovers with many airlines operating the type with ANA and JAL, like this one, are the most common:

As you can see the sun was almost to far around, so I moved to Terminal 2 and started on the left-hand observation deck:
3. FedEx has a large operation at Narita with many B777F's seen during my first two days:

4. I had splendid warm spring weather, which was nice, but did ruin some pictures due to heat haze as is visible on this picture of this China Southern B737-800:

I then moved to the right hand deck to being able to take some more pictures of planes taxiing.
8. Not as much JAL B737-800s as I expected:
