Japan trip nov 2019, day 8. Komaki Airshow pics This second saturday of my trip I visited the very very busy Komaki Airshow. After picking up a (well known) Taiwanese friend in a Love Hotel near Gifu we drove to the Komaki JASDF gate and as a miracle found a parking spot :-). When we we entered the ...

I got up at 5 in the morning for the 300 km trip to Ozuki. No police or camera's this time (I think) and the journey went smooth. I arrived at Ozuki around 8, the JMSDF training school is based here. After some strange navigating for the overview spot I was happy to see a lot of T-5's on the ramp. I...

Thank for the comments and the input I received PM

After the sun set in Tsuiki I drove south via some wrecks, the best place was the Nippon Bunri University in Oita with a real nice Original Starfighter among other instructional aircraft. I arrived there around 22.30 but some students where still there :-). I slept on a parking close to Nyutabaru an...

After Iwakuni and some wrecks I drove to the South Island. I only made one mistake, like te day before I stopped at a parking to get one hour of sleep but when the alarm clock started at 1900 I turned it off and slept… until 00.30 when I woke up with no more sleep. What can you do in Japan at 00.33...

While in Akeno I found out that the next day would be a holiday in Japan so no JASDF flying activities :-(. This news was a bit of a dissapointment…. The only option for the next day would be to drive to Iwakuni for the USN based aircraft there. It turned out to be a good day! I under estimated the ...

I just had a better look on my hangar pics, 32603 was in one of the hangars (with 3 other unidentified of which one looks like 32622, one has white stripes in its paint).

Nice selection of photos. Did you get access to any of the hangars? 8) Here is my complete log (including 4 hangars where I could peep in from outside the base, not all helicopters are read) JA119M/-- Mie Disaster Prevention Air Corps AW.139_ 23051/LR Renraku T.

Very nice pictures!!!

Since you asked for feedback, for my personal taste I like the colors but they are a little bit "soft".

Ok, thanks for the feedback, I tried to shop them a little bit "harder" but the background got too much hard white. Any tips?

It has been a few years since I posted pics but I want to try to pick it up again :-). For several reasons I stopped, the most important one is that some sites/magazines posted/published my pics without permission. When I tried to contact the authors they did not reply (and did not remove my pics).....
