ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Japan trip 8-11 / 18-11 2015 MIL ( and a little bit of civil

Post by gold »

A visit to Japan was on my wishlist for ages, so I was happy when I finally got the opportunity to go this year. It leaves me with one problem, now I wanna go back

I have made a small collection from this great trip, which included some civil aircraft aswell;

Fukuoka airport on sunday was quite nice;

Helloooooo Kitty

Main goal was military aircraft, so Iwakuni was next;

No US-1/US-2 were seen that day, now I have to go back some time..

Tsuiki airbase was next on the agenda;

Offcourse, Neyutabaru had to be visit.

Also nice, the sound of Huey.

Hyakuri is the place to visit in my opinion.. close to the action everywhere.

Since they only have one in blue, it's here again...

Thank you for watching.

Cheers,

Hermen

Yes Erik, you should. It's worth it and less mileage for you :D Don't wait to long, as Y-11'en, RF-4E Kai ain't gonna be around for ever :cry:

Besides the JASDF, JMSDF and JGSDF aircraft, I was also very pleased to see two USMC EA-6B..
