Our good friend from
WMS Media -- which also happens to live in AXIS -- managed to get some great shots of the first Boeing 787 in the Bay Area. We wish this route much success, and it's off to a great start with the initial flight selling every seat. Also, as as sidenote look for the new 49ers stadium under construction in the last photo... had no idea it would be that visible from the airport.
What's ANA? Also, I flew non-stop SJC<->NRT back in 2001 so this is hardly new.
ReplyDeleteANA is the largest airline in Japan. The previous flight to Tokyo run by American was cancelled in 2007. Also ANA is flying the new route with a 787, the best aircraft available right now.
DeleteHow was the noise? Just curious...
ReplyDeleteI'm curious too, it's supposed to be a much quieter plane.
DeleteI'll be flying on this route in a couple of weeks. I'll let you know how the noise is.
ReplyDeleteSo much for that.
