I'm on my way, Harold, but the bad news is, it'll be about 6 hours before I arrive.

The weather today in Tokyo is quite lousy, we have fog, and rain, and overcast, BRRR... I can feel the chill from here. I really do feel sorry for the guy on the tarmac helping my pushback. By the looks of it, one of my Aussie friends went ahead and followed me here, too.

Image
Well, it stopped raining, but it's still rather chilly outside. I can't wait to get out of here, nor could my plane. Rotation commencing. Notice I used up the whole runway for takeoff. That's because ATC, being the psychos they are, put me on the shortest runway, as usual. >:(

Image
Say good-bye to Tokyo. I don't really know when I'll be back. Soon, maybe, but probably to Haneda to mix things up.

Image
Hey, it's me! :D

Image
As we climb up to cruise altitude, we left the weather behind us. Hopefully it will be better in Anchorage, but I know Alaska well. :-X

Enjoy.

It's Haneda...Fantastic shots...Although in that rotation shot, was it because of wind that you are completely off center? Don't worry, happens to me to on blustery days...Shouldn't happen on a calm day ;D ;)

Yes, it was windy, and also because my autopilot had a major malfunction and had the trim full climb, so I could literally take off at about 80 knots. ::) I was a little busy sorting that out at the time, as well.
My bad for the misspelling typo.
