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 Tour 2009 - Day 13: Yokota + Shimofusa

Post by Marco »

on the last day of the mil part of the trip, it was scheduled to go to Yokota and Shimofusa. We learned that during the late afternoon of day 12 the 4 US Marines F/A-18D's flew to Yokota for onwards flying to North Japan. So those who missed them at Atsugi were lucky....

Indeed, great shots.

Shots you don't see very often, at least not from these fields.
