#3 We arrive at the Runway, why does ATC always give me the shorter Runways when I’m on such a big fully loaded Plane!
http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/attachment.php?attachmentid=36412&stc=1&d=1243942917


#4 We leave the Ground just in Time before the rather short Runway ends, a scary Moment once again on the Tour!

#5 Time to take in the Gear and leave Narita Airport behind in the Mist!
