Hi fellow aircraft enthusiasts,
Came back from a stunning trip to Japan a couple of weeks ago and managed to shoot over 4000 pics! Visited both Narita and Haneda in Tokyo, Fukuoka and had a very short stint at Osaka Itami. The shots that I have posted are a very small selection of the many shots that I had taken. It probably does not reflect properly in what you can see and photograph over a period of two weeks in Japan. If I have time I might post some more material. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my report:
My 1st UAL Dreamliner in stunning light, coming in on r/w 34L Tokyo Narita:
