  • Nippon cargo 747-8 tail strike at Narita

    Made a go-around and landed ok on the next pass. They said possible wind shear but the winds were only 9 kts. I've only flown into Narita a couple times and don't remember if the area is subject to wind shears. I seem to remember when the MD-11 came out FEDEX had a similar incident in Narita so maybe.

    There is nothing that isn't a pain in the ass about Narita.

        Shouldn't. He said "when the MD-11 came out". The MD-11 was out of production and McDonnell Douglas out of business by then.
