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.

Japan Tour 2009 - Day 11: Akeno

Post by Marco »

an airbase you have to visit when in Japan is Akeno. There is no fence in the approach area. When here, you can shoot all over the platforms. There is a grass runway which is used by every helo which is parked in front of you. Only the Apaches and some further away parked helos did use the intersection.

here some highlights (and the earlier requested / promised helos).

4 the helo straight behind the flying one, is about to lift off and fly backwards for entering the runway.
