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.

Hi there,

This will be my first posting to admid Hyakuri is indeed highly overrated!
I've been there already in 1995 and while everybody would say "the good old days" it was even worse back then....

As evidence some scans from some spotting, 15 years ago:

Image

They putted nose-art on F-15CJ's to personalize their Eagle for the Gunnery Meet...
Image

... and they even didn't won it!
Image

The commander of the squadron was a bit laizy and only painted a chevron on the tail.
Image

Hell, they even did it with the RF-4E Kai's.
Image

And when they all went out, they stopped and parked their jets...
Image

Went back to Japan in '98 & '99 but I need to go there once more to verify if it's still crappy or not :wink:

Neh.....why go all the way to Hyakuri, when you can see B737's from KLM at your very own Amsterdam-Schiphol (EHAM/AMS) ?!

Tsk,
