Japan 2023
In May 2023 I was lucky enough to visit the wonderful country of Japan on a 2 week spotting trip. We visited pretty much all the major, & a few minor bases as well, across the main island of Honshu & a couple on Kyushu. For once the weather gods & the aviation gods seemed to align for the vast majority of the trip as well, the only thing I didn't get to see properly was the JASDF YS-11E's based at Iruma. However I got everything else I wanted, an E-767, aggressor F-15's, EC-1/C-1 & no less than 3 US-2's all in the air, I could go on & on with that.

Re: Japan 2023
Yet again more great shots Dan and you even got two of the 4 Shinmaywa US-2s. Those paint schemes on the F-15s are also interesting.
Thank you for sharing them.

Re: Japan 2023
Thanks both,
we actually caught 3 of the 4 US-2's luckily. I chose to omit 1 of them from this as in essence it's the same as 9901 (pic 53). For those wondering the serial was 9906.

Haha, you might be right there. Although I think that does a disservice to the Walrus

Nice.
When I flew back form Okinawa (holiday) back in April 2023 there were a couple of F-15DJ's at Naha airport waiting to taxi.
