After a successful Thursday at Nyutabaru in fantastic weather Paul and myself decided to return on Friday am before heading down to nearby Kanoya at lunchtime .
Although the weather wasn't quite as good , the morning was again impressive . Standing at the last chance at 07:45 , the first of the days flyers took to the taxiway .
9 F-15's started the mornings flying before 8am ! In the first hour and a half we had 21 fast jet departures , not a bad start to the day !
After a morning of continual fast jets we headed off to Kanoya for some P-3s and helos .
Sorry about the amount of pics again, but I just couldn't help myself !
Cheers,
Mark

Great shots,Japan certainly looks the place for photos.

excellent shots, thanks for sharing
When were these pictures taken ?

Very nice. Woud be even better at Nyutabaru if they cut the weeds a little more often...

I do like your TH-135 images from Kanoya.


Paul.

Love the nutty colour schemes on the F15s, and never tire of seeing F4s still in service.
Other shots of course were superb too. Great selection. Thanks for posting ..

Thanks for the comments guys.

Another great post. What a brilliant trip you and Paul have had.
Love the head on shots, especially the superb Phantoms.

Another beautiful set Mark, looks like you were nice and close to the helo ramp!!

Lovely selection, love the unusual colour schemes on those Eagles...Phantoms...mmmmm....and the hump above the Orion's cockpit is something I've never seen before...

Lovely shots - the F-15s with a splash of coloured camo are especially nice.

Tremendous stuff! Thanks for sharing.

Nice to know the Phantom is still flying somewhere.
