Tokyo-Narita 17-03-2017 (photo heavy!)

Post by LifelinerOne »

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:

2. Korean Air B737-800 taking off from 34L on it's way to Busan:

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:
ImageB738-CSZ-B5741-NRT17mar17 by Anton Homma, on Flickr

5. One of the three Japanese low-cost airlines operating A320s from Narita is Vanilla Air:

6. My first Hello Kitty A330-300 from EVA Air:

7. JetStar Japan is another A320 LCC:
ImageA320-JET-JA14JJ-NRT17mar17 by Anton Homma, on Flickr

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:

9. Every departing plane gets a send off by three ground crew waving the plane goodbye as can be seen in this picture of this JAL B777-200ER:
ImageB772-JAL-JA707J-NRT17mar17 by Anton Homma, on Flickr

10. Ofcourse Dreamliners from ANA can also be seen:

Thanks for the replies!

I took the landing pictures from the terrace on Terminal 2 as they were landing on runway 34R. You'll need to have big lense or crop a little (which I did).

Cheers!
