JAPAN AIRLINES 747-400 4K

THIS IS A 1:400 SCALE MODEL OF JAPAN AIRLINES 747-400.
I REALLY LIKE THIS SIMPLE LIVERY WITH THE RED SUN TAIL. I DO LIKE THE PHOENIX THAT IS ON THE VARIOUS ERAS OF JAPAN AIRLINES AS WELL, EACH ONE HAS THEIR APPEAL.
I DO REMEMBER WHEN THIS SIMPLE LIVERY CAME OUT HOW MUCH I LIKED IT IMMEDIATELY. I WAS SO HAPPY TO FIND THIS MODEL IN BOTH 1:400 AND 1:200. I THINK THE 1:200 WAS A HOGAN MODEL, BUT THE WHEELS WOULD ALWAYS FALL OFF WHEN YOU PICK IT UP. LOL. I THINK I EVENTUALLY SOLD IT.
I LOVE WHEN THE AIRLINES MATCH A NICE LIVERY WITH THE MASSIVE BODY OF THE 747-400, AND IN THIS VIDEO IT IS LOOKING GOOD.
I ALSO HAD THE JOY OF WATCHING THIS PLANE LAND AT YVR OFTEN BACK IN THE DAY. MY HOW THINGS CHANGE IN THE AIR TRAFFIC SPACE. I SUPPOSE THERE IS ALWAYS ADJUSTMENTS TO ROUTES AND VOLUME DUE TO COMPETITIVENESS.
SEVERAL JAPAN AIRLINES 747-400 PLANES CAME IN PER WEEK. NOW IT IS EITHER 787-9 OR 767-300. MUCH SMALLER AND LESS OFTEN. I AM NOT SURE IF AS MANY JAPANESE TOURISTS COME TO VANCOUVER AS MUCH AS IN THE PAST.
I DO KNOW ONE PLACE JAPANESE TOURISTS LOVE TO GO, HAWAII. I REMEMBER HANGING OUT BY THE HONOLULU AIRPORT AND SEEING JAPAN AIRLINES 747-400S COME IN ONE AFTER ANOTHER.
IN DECEMBER MANY OF THE JAPANESE TOURISTS PARTICIPATE IN THE HONOLULU MARATHON. THAT IS WHEN I SAW THE HUGE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC FROM JAPAN, AND IN PARTICULAR A LOT OF JAPAN AIRLINES 747-400S.
IT IS AN EPIC PLANE THAT HAD A LONG PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN BOEING AND JAPAN AIRLINES. THAT ERA OF JAPAN 747S IS NOW ENDED BUT THE MEMORY LIVES ON THROUGH THESE MODELS AND PHOTOS.
ENJOY THIS VIDEO OF A JAPAN AIRLINES 747-400.
