Seattle Times reported that Japan Airlines (JAL) has found some metal shavings left inside the fuel tank of their latest 767-300ER (JA654J). JAL troubleshoot the fuel imbalance problem of the 763 fuel tank and found small metal particles inside! The article did not say it's JA654J but you can tell from the delivery date.
Japan Airlines unveils the first plane with the new Tsurumaru livery. It organizes a special domestic tour to Hokkaido before its debut on international routes. Below are links to Japanese articles which includes some picture of the new 763 (JA654J). Also today JAL will have its last 747 flights. So keep an eye on the 747 retirement news :)
JA654J had its first test flight at Paine Field yesterday. There's a picture of it at PaineAirport.com
Unfortunately they haven't finished painting the new livery yet and the rudder (rear part of the tail) has been painted the old "Arc of The Sun" too :eek: But this could be the first plane with the new JAL livery. So I will keep an eye on this plane to see if we can see the new livery before its official debut :)
