This is the most beatiful volcano that i have never seen!!!

A visitor from Netherlands posted Tue October 21, 2008:
To all the people wondering where the winglet is... the answer is in the designation of the type 446 >D<.
Plz check the comments below; a person from Luxembourg has explained it all.

A visitor from Netherlands posted Tue September 16, 2008:
Lol first i thought where is the winglet? But then i realised this is a domestic and they cant benefit from the fuel saving abilities on their short runs, so they save themselves the cost of havin them installed. interesting tho, i didnt know that this type doesnt have the extended wingspan of the "normal" -400...

A visitor from Turkey posted Sat May 31, 2008:
Just one word!Magnificent!

A visitor from United States posted Fri May 30, 2008:

A visitor from United States posted Fri July 6, 2007:
Awesome picture. Look at the reflections in the engine housings!

A visitor from Russian Federation posted Sun May 13, 2007:
Snow-covered top of Fuji and beautiful lighting of the clouds. Really great combination.

A visitor from Switzerland posted Mon January 29, 2007:
A great mixture of light, nature and the plane.

A visitor from United States posted Sat January 27, 2007:
Amazing that he even was able to take this excellent photo what with all those NRT babes onboard to look at.

A visitor from Iran, Islamic Republic Of posted Sat January 27, 2007:
What a nice sigh.Silnet Fuji.

A visitor from Canada posted Wed January 10, 2007:
Well composed picture. Mt. Fuji rising above the clouds.

Unique contrast.dramatic!

A visitor from Taiwan posted Wed November 22, 2006:
This is one of the best photo I can imagine, ever

A visitor from Brazil posted Mon November 13, 2006:
Hey...There's the big, amazing and scarey Mt. Fuji.
The clounds make the shot too gotic... Cool

A visitor from Brazil posted Fri November 10, 2006:
Wow i loved it !

A visitor from United States posted Tue October 10, 2006:
Very good

A visitor from United States posted Thu October 5, 2006:
This is the most beautiful picture I have ever seen! Mt. Fuji looks amazing in the background. The clouds look beautiful around it.

A visitor from United States posted Sun August 20, 2006:
This is a very beutifal sight

A visitor from Australia posted Fri August 18, 2006:
First 400D's landing gears are capable for more frequent landings. Secondly thrustrate is slightly different from normal 400s. And I think is model exists only in Japan.

A visitor from United States posted Thu July 6, 2006:
Beautiful picture. I like the contrast of the wing against the background. Also, good job capturing the mountain breaking through the clouds, and the lack of winglets on the 744D

A visitor from Luxembourg posted Fri May 12, 2006:
-400D's have no winglets indeed and as D stands for domestic they're not intended to fly long distance routes but Domestic ones. The British vistor's comment is true, the extra wingspan and extra tank from the -400 would make the aircraft heavier whereas the D version is meant to carry as much pax as possible on short routes with high pax density. Nice pic of Mt. Fuji by the way :-) Brgds / GP

A visitor from United States posted Fri May 12, 2006:
My favorite shots of all time. The wing/engine shots of 747's. I first saw almost similar scene when I got on a KLM-747 at 9 years of age. Pretty scary sitting next to engine #-3.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon April 24, 2006:
Love the contrast and reflections in cowling too-(Japanese domestic 400D's lack the extra wingspan, winglets and tail fuel tank of standard 400's, IIRC)

A visitor from United States posted Tue April 18, 2006:
Amazing Picture, great job

A visitor from Germany posted Mon April 17, 2006:
Outstanding! Great picture

A visitor from Canada posted Thu April 13, 2006:

A visitor from United States posted Tue March 21, 2006:
Wow, I wish my bedroom window had that view! Beautiful shot!

A visitor from United States posted Sat March 18, 2006:
Perfect shot! Gotta love the 744Ds!

A visitor from Germany posted Thu March 16, 2006:
Have a look in the seach engine for 446D-type a/c. They all don't have winglets. This seems to be a special 'feature' on JAL's 747-400.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed March 15, 2006:
This JAL 744 is a regional airliner and does not need winglets as it only covers short hauls. Winglets were removed from some 400 series by Boeing for short flights.

A visitor from Brazil posted Wed March 15, 2006:
It's extraordinary. I love it very much. Omeretou Takahashi-san.

In Japan winglets are associated with evil ghosts.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed March 15, 2006:
Great shot, dont get me wrong but dont all 747-400s have winglets?

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue March 14, 2006:
I like this photo because my class was only after studing Mount Fuji in geography and I think this is the best picture of Mount Fuji yet.

A visitor from Netherlands posted Tue March 14, 2006:
Is it missing a winglet?

A visitor from Japan posted Tue March 14, 2006:

A visitor from - posted Mon March 13, 2006:
I dont think thats a 400 series. Where's the winglets?

A visitor from Germany posted Mon March 13, 2006:
Kono e wa kirei desu!!! (Just trying to say 'great picture' in Japanese.)

A visitor from - posted Mon March 13, 2006:
I'm sorry to disappoint you.. but this is not a
747-400... lacks a winglet... perhaps a -300?

A visitor from Germany posted Mon March 13, 2006:
Amazing .... but 747-400 without winglets???

A visitor from Canada posted Mon March 13, 2006:
Great view!!!

A visitor from United States posted Mon March 13, 2006:
747-400 without winglets? How come?

A visitor from United States posted Mon March 13, 2006:
To see such a clear shot of the tip of a volcano siticking out above the clouds, covered by snow is a contrast. The moulten mountain is frozen.

A visitor from Australia posted Mon March 13, 2006:
Beautiful picture. But if this is a 747-400, where are the winglets???

A visitor from Switzerland posted Mon March 13, 2006:
