I fly back to Tokyo tomorrow morning, have an overnight stay there and then fly back to UK on Saturday. Hopefully should get a few more hours at Narita

While in Tokyo for business I also managed about 5 hours at Haneda which was very enjoyable. Great viewing facilities and plenty of special schemes (see photo section)! Hopefully this will give you an idea of what to expect if you get the chance to visit - loads of wide bodies! B-2500 Boeing 767 36D...

While on a business trip to Tokyo I logged these during a 3 hour stay on the viewing terrace.

Being away from home and family is not all that it is cracked up to be. The spotting has made the trip more enjoyable certainly. I have made about 450 this trip including lots of wide bodies in Japan. Hopefully a few more to come with another day at Sydney and a few hours at Narita - then back to th...

Hi The next leg of my business trip took me down to Sydney. I spent a few hours on the small viewing terrace on top of the International Terminal - not as good as the Tokyo airports but still more than most UK airports provide! I hope to get another days spotting in towards the end of the week befor...

Hi Final set from Japan. A few more from Narita before departing to Sydney. http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff288/colinnwells/DSC_2389_edited-1.jpg http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff288/colinnwells/DSC_2368_edited-1.jpg http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff288/colinnwells/DSC_2346_edited-1.jpg...

Hi Here are a few shots from Haneda http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff288/colinnwells/DSC_2143-1_edited-1.jpg http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff288/colinnwells/DSC_2141-1_edited-1.jpg http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff288/colinnwells/DSC_2139-1_edited-1.jpg http://i239.photobucket.com/album...

Hi I had another business trip - this time to Tokyo and then on the Sydney. Here are a few shots taken when I got a few hours spare at Narita. More to come from Haneda and Narita later. Light and heat haze meant it wasn't ideal for photography (well that's my excuse anyway!) http://i239.photobucket....

The aircraft is owned by Raytheon and according to one site I found the nose relates to the F22 programme. However, another site refers to an F-15 nose and my first guess was that is was an F-16 nose so you can take your pick!

Cheers

Hi I spent a few days at LAX earlier this month. Here are a few of the photo's that I took from Imperial Hill which overlooks 25L and R. This runway is used mainly by United, AA, Delta plus some cargo, Biz and International flights. Heat haze was a bit of an issue! Hope they are of some interest. ht...

Hi Here are a few photos taken over the fence at Phoenix Goodyear. Not the best quality (not used to dealing with sunshine and heat haze!) but hopefully someone will find them interesting. http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff288/colinnwells/Aviation/Phoenix%20Goodyear/DSC_7838.jpg http://i239.photo...

Hi Taken during a recent family holiday to Southern US. I hope that these are in the correct section - some could count as Wrecks and Relics as well! http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff288/colinnwells/Aviation/Kingman/DSC_6604_edited-1.jpg http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff288/colinnwells/Aviat...

Hi I have recently returned from a family holiday in SW United States. I took a flight over Pinal Air Park - never got lower than 4,000 foot due to traffic (Martinair B747 repositioning to Tucson). The quality is not great - discovered after the flight that I had the wrong settings - but I hope they...
