Forum rules
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.

Hi!

Excellent set of photos, hope to see more ;)

Although I am mostly civil spotter, the YS at Iruma interested me. Is it difficult to spot there without car? The base is relatively close to where my grandma live, so thought about visiting it next time I go to Japan.

Thanks for reply.

Regards, Keishi

Iruma is so close to a railway station,that at the annual airshow(usually on 03 November ),they dismantle the fence on one of the platforms to allow direct access to the base from the station.

A lot of Japanese bases are near railway stations,and the last time I was there(in 2006),a three week railpass cost 57,000 JPY.
