Spotting information from Japan

Recommended Posts

Thank you for comment,Pieter C san and flee san :)

I heard JAL's B787 will come to HND at the end of next month, so I have to go to HND again ^_^

 

 

Suzuki-san - what is the best focal length to use to get shots from the HND viewing area?

 

and what time do they open?

 

thanks

Sharil san>

I think 70-300mm lens is enough in HND :)

The observation deck of T1 and T2 is opened from 0630 to 2200, and the international terminal is 24h open!

Long time no see,all MWings members!!

 

 

I'm fine but I was a bit busy since the end of last year.

And I have to apologize because all of my photos that attached before disappeared by the convenience of the server. :sorry:

However, I show you the spotting information from Japan again although the attached photos are small size(120x80).

 

My first spotting day in 2012 was 18 Feb at NRT.

I heard JAL's B787 will come to Japan(NRT) on 27 Mar!

Then it seems that JAL has a plan to start the test flight on NRT-NGO-KIX from 30 Mar.

But this schedule might be changed.
