Great set....

I'm off to Japan in January for 9 days. Will try and get to a Mil base, but it will need to be near Tokyo due to no hire car and getting about on public transport

Iruma has stations near by ( Ys11, c1)
I know Alan Kenny has done Hyakuri by public transport as it has a civil terminal and I think he has bus or trained it from there

Great set well worth the trip, unusually I'm finding the USAF UH-1N rather pleasing, I've never seen that scheme before

Blimey - where to start with comments on a set like this?!? Simply superb images - and fantastic to see mil aircraft that aren't just grey, grey and more grey. Very hard to pick a favourite but that RF-4 in the two-tone blue takes some beating - wow!

Brilliant work
