Hello IFC, it’s been ages since my last screenshot topic, so I thought I’d share some shots of my latest flight.
When 23.2 came out, I was of course hyped for the Challenger 350 (which I’m actually flying right now from KASE to KSJC, I’ll maybe make a topic later), but while I was reading the update notes, there was something that I was hyped a lot more about: the JAL 777-300ER! The ANA 77W had been released the year prior, and with the addition of the ANA 787-9 later, the Japanese wide body club had 2 new big members. But it was still missing the flag carrier of Japan’s 77W. Well it has finally been added, fulfilling every Japanese IF player’s wishes! Despite the Challenger being interesting, I just HAD to fly this baby immediately!
On my first flight, I decided to fly between the two most populous cities of Japan and the US; Tokyo and New York. Enjoy the photos!
Flight info: RJTT-KJFK
Flight number/Call sign: JL4/Japan Air 4 Heavy
Aircraft: Japan Airlines Boeing 777-300ER
Flight time: 12 hours
Parked at the international terminal of Tokyo Haneda. There were a couple JAL 77Ws departing to their respective destinations, an ANA 77W, and a Delta A350 next to me.
Take off! Heavily laden with fuel, passengers and cargo, we lift off from 16L at 7 pm local.
Banking above Tokyo Bay with Mt. Fuji in the background.
Several hours later, we’re above the North Pacific Ocean at FL330.
Several hours after that, we’re descending over Manhattan. In the distance you can see La Guardia and nearby Citi Field, home of the Mets.
Some 15 to 20 minutes later, we’re on short final for JFK’s runway 4R. Because of time zones and stuff we land practically at the exact same time we took off!
Moments before touch down…
Touch down! Ohayo gozaimasu New York! (Although it’s 6 in the evening). Landing is a smooth -62625353810101633 fpm
And finally, slowing down, with the tower and an ITA A350 bound for Rome in the background
