Erm, Hyakuri might be my favourite base ever!!
I've not taken that many photos of military aircraft in my life and have probably taken more military photos this year, than ever. I've never seen a Toom used for it's job. Today that changed. If you're ever in Japan. Go to Ibaraki Airport and view Nyakuri Airbase. Amazing access for amazing jets. Cor blimey!!

In future I'd try and take more military photos if I were you!
Re: Erm, Nyakuri might be my favourite base ever!!
Great shots and great subjects but is it my monitor or do some of them look over compressed, no.2 for instance ?

Great set Kenny from Hyakuri, #11 just pips it for me.
Good to see the military using the 'civil' runway. Looks like they were using both runways, was that the case all day ?
Cheers

Great stuff. So wish my company would send me to Japan.
Re: Erm, Nyakuri might be my favourite base ever!!
Is there a dedicated spotters' area or ss it just great access?

My mistake. I was tired after the 4 hour bus/train journey
@Chris: It was only these 4 Phantoms that used this runway and only ten minutes before I left. Security came round and took my photo and details as they'd never seen a foreigner there. I thought they landed there just for me
@Iain: Just great access and a very old, basic step ladder plonked next to the fence, which I took full use of
