I’ve had a few smooth landings but generally returning to Earth while going over a hundred miles per hour is pretty rocky feeling.

Yeah you occasionally get a pilot that is extremely experienced and the landing is super smooth. Had one that managed to make it so smooth I didn’t even realize we were on the ground despite being fully alert and talking to the person next to me.
But most a at least a bit bumpy.
In reality, a pilot may intentionally choose a firmer landing, for multitude of reasons, but most important ones being braking action and runway length. Brakes will work best with the full weight of the aircraft on the wheels, and in order to get that sooner you usually have to plant the landing gear firmer. As for runway length, well, those aren’t infinite. And depending on how heavy the plane is, how good the braking action is (wet runway will have worse braking, for example), noise constraints (for thrust reverser use), you may have to do a faster/firmer landing too, so you don’t risk overshooting (floating) the landing zone, or running off the end of the runway because you didn’t brake enough. There can also be mechanical constraints, such as wing spoilers requiring certain amount of weight on wheels to pop up, and firmer landing will get them up faster; an so forth.

Sooner or later every airplane passenger will find that Earth rocks.
Yuki will have to get used to Earth creature comforts.
is Mount Fuji copyrighted?
Pretty sure landscape features can’t be copyrighted.
I don’t think Fuji is flat on top like that.
The volcano outlet “cut-of-the-cone” is not quite that broad, else it’s a fair rendition – as volcanoes goes, Mount Fuji is not only large but rather “ideally” formed.
I gotta say, i did make it more flat than it should be by a bit BUT- if you look at pictures of Mount Fuji from Tokyo International Airport- it is one of the broadest views of the mountain that does look very flat topped because it is a volcano. Google it, and you’ll probably see a few of the references I used, but I dont spent a ton of time working on backgrounds. They are something I keep trying to improve but Yosh! Update schedule doesn’t leave me with a lot of time to work on each panel, and I am not as young as I used to be XD
I think the misunderstanding might be that they are at Haneda in the city, not at Narita in Chiba. Many international flights tend to go to Narita, but private planes tend to the old Haneda airport. Based on the building and the perspective they seem to be standing near the middle of the Haneda terminal 3 building somewhere around parking spot 123 looking over the building.
wooh Fujisan
