Kurata, you're the "lucky" junior rumoured to

always get us involved in trouble if we fly with you.

What... Then today we're literally lucky.

Look, a halo.

Kurata, how many years have you been a first officer?

It's my third year, but it's the first time I see it.

I had no idea it was so beautiful.

Wow, impressive, Shibuya.

Your controlling is brilliant. Nice control!

No! Your work is perfect.

Being friendly is... Right?

You're too friendly. Natsume.

Nah... Am I?

J Silver 120, Tokyo Tower, runway 22. Continue approach.

Kurata.

- Yes. - When you land, you have a habit

of tilting the centre stick to the left.

Yes.

Especially when the crosswind is strong.

Or when the visibility is low. your habit shows.

Yes.

Check the meters to see whether you're controlling it right or not.

Yes.

Also...

Too close.

Oh. I'm sorry!

It's my habit.

I can't help going near people.

You're like something...

A dog!

Ah. I've been told.

Like. a puppy?

No, not a tiny, whining dog. It's the bow-wow kind that runs...

the fluffy, huge... Oh. large dog!

Oh, are you okay?

- Let me help. - Thank you.

Rescue dog?

"JAL meal B"

Locks delicious«!

You're in my way, go somewhere.

- Good morning, Captain Murai. - Morning

Flight 43 to London.

Let's start our briefing.

The ship of today's flight is JA861J.

The ship of the previous flight will be here soon

There are 195 passengers, full capacity.

l and...

Japan Air 115, Tokyo Tower.

Hold short of runway 16, you're number two for departure.

Wind 150 at 12...

Is this the controller at the tower?

Yes. that's right.

Japan Air 115, runway 16R at Alpha 14. Line up runway.

James!

Hey.

Oh no...

Safe.

Thank you for your help!

Don't mention it.

What's the matter?

The plane made a bit of a hard landing this morning.

So I'm worried about it.

I talked to the captain. and asked to come here first.

Oh. that won't affect the plane at all.

Anyway Sui, worry about yourself.

Today was the weather.

The other day the passengers caused trouble.

And the destination's runway closed before that?

You're so "lucky!"

Well, despite the troubles. the plane and passengers were okay.

I'm lucky.

Yeah. in fact.

That didn't occur to me.

Well, I don't fly alone.

Of course.

You want to look for a controller? What's that?

What?

- You're in love with her voice? - What?

- Love at first hearing? - No, I just want to thank her.

I hear her voice a lot at Haneda lately.

At first. t thought she was unfriendly.

But after listening to her controlling.

It's obvious how much she thinks when she controls.

It's like we're flying together.

So I'm wondering what she's actually like.

Okay, attend a gathering.

Gather? To exchange opinions with people at other posts?

"Blind dating" is the name of that.

You know many people. you must know a controller.

Well. that's...

Controllers and pilots only meet in the crew training once a few years.

Is that so?

We only know each other's voices. It's a strange relationship.

Besides planes for a charge.

Has it been two? Or three years?

Is that so?

Wow. it's so cool!

The 78?

Oh, I want to take that.

Oops, I have many things to do before the cabin crew comes.

After this flight takes off.
