February 1, 2023, just before Setsubun. Unusually for Narita, which was in the middle of "winter" in both name and reality, the wind was blowing from the south from the morning, so I went to Inashiki, Ibaraki Prefecture to welcome AirAsia Philippines, which was to start new service that day. I thought that after welcoming them with a warm welcome, I would see them off at the airport and go home, but when I arrived at Narita and waited for the departure, the weather suddenly changed! The suspiciously westerly wind started to blow and became more and more ferocious with each passing day, eventually reaching nearly 35kt. Every year, after the beginning of spring, the strong westerly wind hits around the time when the cherry blossoms bloom, and the dust is enough to paint the sky yellow. What on earth could have happened that such an "unpleasant spring tradition" would hit Narita, where it is still in the middle of winter? I'm a pathetic old man who left the house without even checking the weather report because it was a "sunny day with a southerly wind," but since I'd already gone out, I decided to follow the day's events a little more carefully. The conditions were getting tougher with each passing day, and the wind shear was gradually approaching the runway from the approach course. And even in that situation, the ships boldly touched down, and the ships courageously went around... Even with the camera at the ready, there were many moments when I couldn't help but shout out, "Just a little more! Go!" Maybe that's why the captions in the video are full of weird cries of the heart, and I'm really sorry about that, but I hope you'll feel like you've gone to Narita Airport with this old man, where the strong winds are blowing, and enjoy these exciting moments. This is a video from February 1st, so I should have uploaded it a little earlier, but since I was editing it on an antique Mac made in 2006, the editing data was lost in the middle of the work, and I had to start over from scratch...orz This is also due to my bad behavior, so please forgive me.
