Trying to make my way to Taiwan but Typhoon Sepat kind of slowed things down a bit.  Ended up heading for Japan instead.  Will have a couple small stops before finally reaching Tao-Yuan.  

First leg was Detroit to Nagoya.

About 4:15 PM we are heavy and ready for takeoff.  Packing a little extra fuel to combat a strong headwind that is expected the first 4 hours of the flight.

Crawling out of DTW.

Still climbing after a small bank to intercept our route.
Image
12.4 hours later we make our way into Nagoya, Chubu.  
Image
Touchdown, glad to be on land again.
Image
And finally pulling up to the gate after 12.6 hours.  From here I will hop up to Tokyo, Narita.  From there its to Hong Kong before finally making the last hop into Tao-Yuan.

Number three is very nice ... a little more breathing room wouldn't have hurt the shot but I think it is nice.
Your graphics seem to be a little better than your previous tread with the Airbus ...

Thanks :)

Not as much as it appears :P  Start long hauls before I go to work, with the FTG ACARS I can set it to pause about 250-300 miles out and then I land when I get home ;)  Or sometimes I get home and still a couple hours out.  Makes it nice to keep my tradition of all VA flights done in real time 8-)

As for graphics.  Did a little tweaking of the graphics card.  These shots were taken before that.  With this old monitor I don't have complete access to all the settings.  Vibrance and Sharpening are out :(  But will hopefully be getting a new LCD by Christmas.  Then we shall see what I can really do ;)
