Daily pic #10: Air China Boing 747-400

I came too early to the airport and had some time to kill. A quick survey revealed that Narita has a nice viewing terrace, overlooking the runway. I wish other airports would follow suit.

Commercial airplanes are not the most graceful or even photogenic things in the world. I decide to photograph some planes for the identification purposes - unlike cars, I can never identify an airplane by its exterior. Why can't they slap a big Boing or Airbus logo with the model number on every plane? It would also be nice if they had a "How am I flying?" sticker...
