ANA, B-767/300, JA607A, Our Return Plane Arriving at Gate

Ishigaki Airport, Yahema Islands, Okinawa, Japan view map

Japan's both main airlines, JAL and ANA are almost the only mainstream ones still using the Boeing B-767. This time, due to COVID, it was deployed t replace the usual B-787.
This is my favourite Boeing Airplane, because not only it is very stable, particularly in rough weather, like the big rains when we arrived, https://pbase.com/image/170804248 but because it is the most comfortable, in part because its 2+3+2 configuration.
When I asked my Captain Son about it, he said it is mainly due to the extremely well conceived wing, as the B-767 was made as the 1st Boeing answer to the raising Airbus. It was at the time also the most economic...
The B-757 'sister' Airplane, was just the opposite, onde of the roughest rides, very very hard in turbulence...
Never ceased to amaze me how Japan's so old airplanes looked so new and well kept inside....
