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.

After cancelling a weeks trip in April (for obvious reasons), ended up spending just over two weeks in Japan (21st Nov~6th Dec) wrapped around the airshows at Ashiya, Gifu and Nyutabaru. Below is first week of the trip.

Make a detour here as there was an airshow the next day (clashing with Gifu). Not much sign of airshow preparations.

Hi Paul,

Like 'm a lot! The Omura shots are a nice addition since we do not get to see many shots from that place.

Stuff lifting off from the boards were <300mm(ff) and the side on stuff touching down on the runway (in front of the hangers) < 150mm(ff).

Paul.

Good catch. Did you have a base visit at Ashiya or was it an open house and Paul where did you take the US-1?

It was Ashiya open house, Wed 23rd Nov (a public holiday). The US-1A was on static at the show, but departed before 1pm.
