Atsugi - Last trip of the year.

Post by leonardm »

With the air wing back at Atsugi and sunny weather forecasted last week I headed down for my last outing of the year with the hope of seeing some growlers. Unfortunately none flew but it was a busy day so not a wasted day by a long shot.

visiting training flight.

Everyone loves the flying boat

Image

P-3 and helo

Image

P-1

Image

Visiting C130

Image

F-18 with weapons fit.

Image

E-2

Image

Usually when you hear modex #200 call up you can expect some nice colors but not in this case.... looks like we will have a new cag scheme soon.

Image

Only colour of the day came in with the sun behind a cloud.

thanks all !

Great selection of rarities - I especially like the Diamondbacks Hornet and the P-1.
