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.

16/05/2010 - JGSDF Utsunomiya Open Day

Post by p6025 »

A relatively small open day at JGSDF Utsunomiya, located an hour or so north of Tokyo. Once the opening ceremony was complete, a formation of based types opened the flying display. This consisted of 5x OH-6D, 3x UH-60JA, 3x UH-1J and a CH-47J. This was followed by solo displays by each of these types in turn. The finale was a display by a 5-ship of OH-6Ds.

Nice work Paul ! Your shots bring back great memories of Japan. If only Europe would fly like they did, our hobby would be much livelier than it is now (although it's a good thing that Europe doesn't have to fly like the 80's anymore).

Please keep your shots coming !!

Cheers,
