Hi Rob. Thanks for posting these great images. It hurts that I did not go to Japan earlier. :( Still. I consider myself rather fortunate with the trip we made in 2002, as many aircraft types (F-1, T-2 and KV-107 for example) have been taken out of service. Ok, some pictures On 30 October 2002 it was...

I just fainted..

Marcel, forget what I said about the Hyakuri Phantoms. I now hate Rob S instead. Oh my God, what have i started!

Great great images Rob. How did you scan them ?

Ah ja of course, Was this the famous trip together with Rob Schleiffert ? When was that again ?

I remember the videos and photos you guys brought back, that is when I decided that one day, if I grew up I should go as well...

Nice ones Pieter !

You are actually the first person I ever met to have a base visit on a Japanese Airbase. How on earth ?

MARCEL BOS!! You were so supposed to go out, get horrendously drunk and not come back until next morning. How on earth did you manage tu upload those FILTHY pictures. Grrrr. Damn. Now you have to come with me to do it again. Marcel this afternoon "... No, I did not have fair lighting on my 501 Hikot...

Ohhhhh. That Green Eagle is just amazing again ! Funny to notice, that you have been there 3 years after me, and they already have different colour schemes again. Fan-tas-tic ! Roel. The only 501 Hikotai Phantoms I have got, are the ones taken at Matsushima with horrible light conditions. The follow...

Ok, Some more coloured Eagles at Nyutabaru. The Hiko Kyodotai is operating eight coloured F-15J/F-5DJ here. Funny aspect is that each one has a different colour scheme, and that scheme also changes from time to time. We were incredibly lucky to saw them all eight flying, multiple times throughout th...

Hi Ruud I have a Acer Scanwit 2720S somewhere, altough I have no clue where it is actually. It is not connected to my computer at this moment and must be somewhere in my storage room. I got fed up with the effort of making good scans with it. So that is why I went to scancare.nl and asked that compa...

Eh Yes. I just couldt not come up with the name and did not care to look it up. Sorry...

Lekker Lekker Lekker :-) I love all those Japan shots! Great Hiko Kyodotai Camo on that bird on Tsuiki Patrick. And I like the "staggering CH-46" from Erik as well. Marcel, just keep let them coming of course. And Dino. Grrrrr. I am not Jealous I am not Jealous I am not Jealous I am not Jealous I am...

Edited and Unedited. On request of some people, here two pictures, first one un-edited, second one edited. I uplaoded a bit larger format, so you will see the difference in grain as well. http://franknoort.nl/japan/gfx/photos/large/496-03-un-edited.jpg http://franknoort.nl/japan/gfx/photos/large/496...

Ah Mr Bos. Yeah yeah Rub it in. Thanks ! :-) And nothing else to do ? Well yes, but that involves Heavy Work in Lightoom and you seem motivated to do other stuff like this :-) For Stefan and the others. Here are some Mitsubishi F-1's ? http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd299/franknoort/Japan/511-03...

Hee Dino. About the scanner, please read the page 1 of this thread, you will read all about the scanner and stuff Stefan. Shame on you that you did not recognize this boat! :-) It is a US-1 Shin Maywa, one of the most special airplanes in the Japanese Inventory. This was actually for me the reason t...

Thank you all for your nice comments, I will add some un-edited pictures as soon as possible.
