as a few days wandering around Tokyo.
Weather extremely unseasonal with me even getting some sunburn due to some lovely weather for the middle of February!
There was a good reason for my planning to visit Hyakuri on this trip,partly because it would be the last time that the base would be home to the F-15`s of 305 Hikotai
before they relocate to Nyutabaru with 301 Hikotai arriving in their place,also I was gambling on another TDY taking place that has happened for the last few years in February...could I time it right???
