The second day of our Japan trip brought us to Matsushima, home of the advanaced training squadron of the JASDF (21 Hikotai) and ofcourse the famous demonstration team of the JASDF, Blue Impulse. Weather was again beatiful with lots of sun!
1. The local F-2B's were flying a lot of missions. Seen here is this F-2B 33-8116 landing with the hills on the background:
2. Coming in from a fast-speed descend:
3. Visitor from Iruma
4. We were surprised with a performance from Blue Impulse. Great!
5. Solo

7.
8. Friendly pilot waving:
9. U-125 coming after the daily rescue mission. Notice the guy in the window!
10. Local T-4

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. |
