I'm going to Narita on Thursday, from Terminal two what are the best places/gates to get views from?
Also from the Terminal One Viewing area can you get the cargo stuff??
I'm staying at the Nikko Narita for one night and asked for an airport view , can you se much from there??
Cargo is difficult, try both ends of the Terminal 1 terrace, or the museum for the southern area if you have time. At Terminal 2, the southern of both viewing areas is best I think. There is no place to see it all AFAIK. No idea about the Nikko, either.
Went to Narita on the 2nd left on the 3rd of April. Stayed at the Nikko Narita got an airport view room. You can get most things landing onto the Terminal 2 runway and a couple of cargo bits too. Did miss a couple of biz jets so if anyone was there on the 2nd or 3rd. There was what looked to be either a global or legacy with Red Strips on, parked next to a gulfstream and challenger. That was on the 2nd april around 6pm. Also a Air Canada 777 took off then too. In the Cargo terminal was 3 NCA 747, 2 ANA 767, 2 NW 747, 1 Fedex and Air Hong Kong. And round the other side was a UPS 767.
When i arrived on the 2nd i just made ANA's and JAL's. on the 3rd April i made.
Fedex - N579FE, N608FE, N609FE and N610FE
Air Hong Kong - B-LDD
UPS - N320UP and N328UP
JAL Cargo - JA632J, JA8911, JA401J, JA8910, JA631J,

NCA - JA03KZ, JA05KZ and JA08KZ
Cathay Cargo - B-HVZ
One Biz was N168CF MD87
There was also 2 biz parked behind JA08KZ which i couldn't quite get and also near N168CF was a ANA 737 with Business Jet on,
If anyone can fill in the many blanks that would be fantastic.
Happy Spotting.
