    It was the 21st in NRT around 1000(L). The airport was in the process of changing runways. We were assigned 16R but had to wait for an aircraft to land on 34L. I could tell it was 747 and when it exited the runway I could instantly tell it was one of your 747-8 F.

    No, not me. I've been off the last couple of weeks. Just landed in narita this morning (23rd). You fly through Narita often?

    Flew in today (23rd) from PVG, landed around 1430. Head out to SEA tomorrow at 1630. I've been on an 11 day, it will be nice to get back home. I'm over here every few months, just depends on what my seniority lets me hold.

    Lou,
    It's been a couple weeks now but was at NRT on April 2nd in a 787/UA880 when I noticed an NCA freighter taxiing around. Wondered if that might have been you at the helm?

    We should retitle the thread 'the Lou spotting thread' :D

    Lou, besides Narita, where else should we look for you?

    Regards,

    Art S.

    I actually left Tokyo on the 1st and have been off since. I'm heading back LAX SFO Tokyo in the early morning tomorrow.

    Did you stay in Tokyo? Or just a stopover? Also, was that flight operated by UAL? I haven' t seen a UAL 787 in Tokyo (Narita) yet.

    Then I just missed you by a day! Was flying back from MNL that day on NH via ICN. Transferred to UA at NRT to HNL on a 777-200

    However, UA does operate a 787 on the NRT-DEN route (flown it twice) - and I do believe they're also starting (or have started) a 787 on either the LAX/SFO-NRT routing.

    I made a mistake in the previous post about the 787. I had arrived in NRT for a five day stay on the 787 from DEN on 3/23 before moving on to MNL. I saw the NCA on the return.

    We could start an "I'll be in Narita on this day" thread!
