Recently, the COVID-19 situation has improved, with the number of infections just a fraction of what it was during the peak of the fifth wave. So, while the weather is still good, I came to the airport to see the planes I haven’t seen in a while, even though most international flights haven’t resumed yet.

The most striking sight today was this Lufthansa Airbus A340-300, a rare four-engine aircraft.

The 2-wheel center main landing gear is a very distinctive feature. A Delta Air Lines A330-900, a model I'm quite used to seeing by now. The Tokyo Skytree in the shadows, and a JAL 737 landing on Runway 16L under a touch of the setting sun. The light at this moment is most charming; the aircraft looks absolutely beautiful in the front light.
