where

[TeenageWind]

It's a gray apartment building right underneath the break between the two flaps on the wing. Don't live there anymore, but it was a spotter's paradise.

Short flights aren't good for 747s. The plane will age quicker than usual and maintenance costs, with all the area to check on the 747s, will end up skyrocketing, relative to lighter aircraft, considering they don't sell them on accordingly.

Pro1331, this is a 747-400D that is especially designed for short haul high capacity japanese flights. the airframe is modified to withstand the high frequency of rotations.

[thunderdragon14]

but why did they not include winglets?

[wazzawazza73]

this increases the fuel efficiency for shorter flights-the range is also mcuh less on these aircraft.

[kasminorth]

items that cannot be used at takeoff or landing

Personal computers, cam-corders (including digital ones), game equipment, digital cameras, tape recorders or DVD/CD/MD players etc.

[KampongKonoha]

[veloboy]

kansai airport is the one that's sinking

[zarnticolz]

Nice one but what do you mean about the high price of aircrew?

[jennjen18]

is this airport the one that is constantly sinking into the ocean?

[lighthouse99]

must be all the Heavy aircraft.

[d4vid2606]

No...Itami is the old international airport. You are thinking of Kansai which opened in 1995 (I think). It's still there though -lol

[Sanosuke004]

Kansai = island airport, itami = inland airport in Osaka. :)
