Remarks: Seen here during happier days on final to rwy 25L arriving from Anchorage. In just over 2 month's time, she'd come to a tragic demise in Dubai.
Remarks: Close-up of a classic departing from 07R for Almaty. As always, every flightdeck jumpseat seems to be taken for these guys, and looks like someone is really enjoying the view from the massive side-window!
Remarks: SQ861 climbing out off 25L, and do you notice anything unusual already??...........................The nose gear is almost done retracting, but the main gears and gear doors remain dangling! In fact, the main gears just won't retract, and she was forced to return to land. She finally departed for Singapore after midnight, some 8 hours later!
Remarks: I missed the days when it was still possible to take shots like these from the public viewing malls of Changi, without having to go airside! (Taken from near gate A13 of T3)
Remarks: "Tiptoeing" down a damp 02L after a typical afternoon shower, with the very humid air causing the tips of the winglets to squeeze out a thin trail of condensation.
Remarks: Taking off from 16R near sunset. Meanwhile in the background, the sun has already set for A300's JA8565 and JA8574, both with titles stripped and awaiting their fate!
Remarks: Perhaps symbolic of the status of the airline industry in Japan at the moment -- with ANA "climbing all over" JAL, given the financial troubles of the latter!
Remarks: Arriving on rwy 34L from Seoul (Kimpo) while Cathay's B-HLK awaits her turn to cross and head out to rwy 05. Haneda is slowly but surely regaining her "international" status!
