F-15's on Komatsu Air Base (小松基地), Japan

Post by Reaper02 » Fri Jun 22, 2018 2:42 pm

In April a good friend and I visited Japan, mainly to photograph the (R)F-4E(J) Phantoms on Hyakuri (pictures will follow later, still processing 'em). But also other bases where visited and one of them was Komatsu, home of 6 Kokudan and the mighty F-15(D)J. Unfortunately the aggressors where gone to Misawa, but the Eagles from 303 and 306 Hikotai flew very well and from the preferable side. We enjoyed two sunny days here in the approach area and on the roof terrace on the civil terminal.

Regards and nice weekend!
