I wonder since home town is near there.
I did flew it last year to Nagoya for a couple of days and always have fun. I normally bid a CVG-NRT run when I need a Japan fix, but every other year or two I switch to Nagoya. Narita works better for me to visit my old stomping grounds when I lived in the surrounding Tokyo area and attended high school near Tachikawa. All good times.

What's up with that, anyways? Suppliers can't keep up with Boeing? From my knowledge it's 787 parts only, so the Max delays aren't it.

I'm not prevy to that information. All we'd hear would be van driver rumors. But only 2 of 4 LCFs are flying and rarely at that. Been that way for awhile now. Maybe they've found a way to build components stateside. Hope it's not Spirit. 😳

I enjoyed going to Taranto, Italy.
Especially if they take your Captain away and leave you there for 4-5 days to vacation and eat yourself into an early grave.
Italian food is not what you get in New Joisey,
Italian food is what you get in Italy and oooooh-my-gawd is it gooooood.
Makes you wanna slap your mama.
I had a seafood pizza there that was a religious epiphany Angel chorus and everything.
They’d take Papa John’s up into the hills and shoot’em with a Lupara.

*Oh we’re not here to talk food?

Great TS, now I will be searching for a trip to Italy and of course avoiding any Lupara toting Sicilian. We just aged ourselves. Maybe I'll just bid Spain for the amazing variety of tapas. Oooops, thread drift thanks TS.

Downtown Nagoya doesn't have much to enjoy but foods are nice.
Tachikawa has grown a lot. I have been there a lot since my grandma lived near there.
Thanks for the information

I lived one stop from Tachikawa (Kunitachi), also Senkawa mid town Tokyo centerish and the American Embassy Compound so definitely less in Nagoya. You still have a castle, origin of Toyota museum and the aquarium which I intend to visit next time perhaps. Normally I just roll around the Porsche, IWC and underground shopping areas across the main drag when bored. Make sure you get a "Tavern Burger" I think it was at the Tavern restaurant some floors up/hotel area.

Now your making me want to find an LCF run there. Well, maybe if it has the three day layover and return back to Paine for some good eats there as well. Might wait til Fall if available as it brings quite a bit of pain...

It's a 30ish minute walk to the Toyota Museum. I could spend the whole day in the textiles section, not to mention the automotive section.
