Hi folks,

This is to ease 'Unknown35's pain, a couple of shots of JA8085's arrival this afternoon.



great to see one of these beasties at Edinburgh.....hope the weather gods are kind for the 5th of August !



Cheers, Alan.

Very nice

Cheerz landshark2084. Gotta say I actually prefered the Old Style Japan Airlines Livery. Used to see them quite often with 747s and MD-11s at Heathrow when on trips Down South.

Wow! Last saturday and most of this week iv been sitting in my work van, just at the taxiway at the showground. Usual 737's and airbuses and the day i dont go this big lump appears!!!

Does anyone know why its here? has it left? is it gonna be regular visitor??

Cheers Landshark, even if i am much jealous!!

I feel your pain DrewN0810, your there when all the average run of the mill scheduled hum drum 73s, Airbus's yet the very day your not looking something interesting just happens to turn up and no-ones there to see it. aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh....
