RJOE - JGSDF Akeno Air Field - Japan

Gray day at this crazy helicopter field. Almost all JGSDF helo types were shown to us. Would love to return with some sunshine on those wonderful camo colors…

Here’s a Bell AH-1S Cobra 73473

Another helicopter flying from Akeno is the AH-64 Apache. Same cool camo. And so close to the “fence”. Here’s AH-64DJP 74501.

What a base! Would kill to get back there on a sunny day!

Yeah, sun would have been nice. But I’m still kicking myself I didn’t shoot some video of that one Blackhawk doing tiny circles on that confined ramp.

Speaking of Blackhawks, here’s one training cargo lifting.

I need to revisit that folder, don’t think I’ve ever edited anything from there.

And? Found anything worthy of posting?

Not got around to it, I suspect there wasn’t much as the light was so flat.
