Air Review Iruma air base

Due to the Covid-19 crisis, all Japanese open houses/air shows were cancelled. Also the Air Review at Hyakuri, planned for a date in October 2020 was a victim of the crisis.

However the Japanese MoD announced that there will be an Air Review at Iruma in the weekend of 28/29 November 2020. Only officials are allowed on base and the public is advised not to come and watch from outside the base.

The event can supposedly be viewed on-line, maybe even streamed live. Some eighty aircraft and helicopters are planned to take part in this event but this could well be reduced as the MoD announced there are no flying activities allowed, including a Blue Impulse display.
