a F-2B training missions returns to Matsushima. Looking at the Matsushima photos always makes me rembember the tsunami on 11 March 2011 that also struck this airfield...
May the 4th be with you! My first ever night airshow and it was a superb event. This was one of the only few colourful aircraft on display which was a shame for the 100yrs anniversary show of the Marine Corp.
Travelling back in time: Luftwaffe Phantom in "Norm 81" retro scheme celebrating the final months of F-4F operations. Though bad weather helps that the afterburner comes out well, I would have preferred some sunshine for this great scheme.
Photographed just before turning onto runway 12 for takeoff. Shown in the original 57th FIS markings with the red rear fuselage, small checkers on the rudder and buzz number FC-419. The 57th insignia was on the left side of the fin.
