ANA "Jumbo jet" just before retirement B747 Reporter saw it attended Itami airport return

Since debuting in the sky of Japan in April 1970,Boeing 747Has been flying through the Japanese sky for over 40 years. It is not an exaggeration to say that the flight that lets room with four engines and the elegant form are among the aircraft symbolizing passenger aircraft not only in Japan but also in the world. Although it is such 747, it is decided to retire the last three machines owned by All Nippon Airways (ANA) as of March 31, 2014, it finally decided to disappear from the sky of Japan at last. ANA visits the airports of various places in Japan that such 747 had been taking care of in the past, and is doing the last return tour. 747 usually can not take off and landing 747 also visited Itami Airport in Hyogo prefecture, it is the last opportunity to see that figure, so I went to the site from early in the morning and saw that figure.

Arrived at 6 AM. The area is still pitch dark.


Dawn is getting closer, the surroundings are steadily getting brighter. Then, on the fence so that a banner stating "Welcome back" can be seen.


Even though it was around 6:30, people gathered together.


Banners will also increase steadily.


A shadow appears behind the sky before dawn!


However, if you look closely it was two Boeing 787 engines. It was a NH961 flight that flew from Haneda to Itami, but there was also a one-shot that the voice leaked from the surroundings, thanks to flying in the difficult time of shooting, "It was a good exercise."


We received a red anti-collision light (anti-collision light) at the bottom of the aircraft, commonly called "uncle".


At last it will have dawn.


Dawn The other side of the sky, the 747 machine shadow is now visible!


Show off the divine skill to fly at the timing of the sun at dawn 747.


I do not want to miss this opportunity, I will cut a shutter unnoticedly.


Unlike the latest model, it comes close to astounding while jeopardizing flashy engine sound.


The aircraft will shine in a clear blue sky.


Actually witting, it's tremendous force.


This time I flew out of the 747 left in ANA, the aircraft with the aircraft symbol "JA 8961".


I will momentarily pass over the heads of many people.


Only from the surroundings "Kashakasha Kashakasha" and the sound of the shutter echoes.


And then safely grounding. Today is the last to see the 747 tire smoke at Itami ......


After landing, prepare for a flight for the surrounding residents, park at an offshore location away from the airport building 747.
