More women have joined the groups of men taking photos of landing and departing aircraft at Central Japan International Airport (Centrair).

Given the nickname "Sorami" (Sky Beauties), these women — who own high-quality camera equipment typically used by professional photographers — are willing to wait hours just to take an original shot of their favorite aircraft.

Out on the runway, an All Nippon Airways Boeing 777 is conducting a touch-and-go exercise, landing and taking off again without coming to a stop.
