Naha airport is packed with tourists coming there just to take pics of the plane. People have been arriving on buses just to take pics.

People have been flying into Naha, there are also bus tours to the Airport where people can take pics of the plane. There have been lines inside the airport just to take pics.

What is crazy is people flying here from mainland just to take pics of the plane, video tape it, and then take the next flight back to mainland. So many people had their family's with them, taking pics with their cell phones.

Thats crazy, but for Japanese its like the best thing that has ever happend!

Are you serious?! I can't imagine doing that. It seems like a waste of time to me to go there to only take pictures of a burned out plane. Then again, I live here. As a tourist, I'd probably do it, if I were in the area. I wouldn't fly to Haneda to see one though. :rolleyes:
