Air Show!

Last Sunday, May 27th, I went to an airshow at Miho Air Base, about 15-20 minutes away from here by train and on foot. I had always meant to go, but in previous years, I never actually made the effort, although I could hear the planes flying overhead.

Having made the effort this year, I can say that it was a lot of fun.



These pictures are of the JASDF Blue Impulse aerobatic team, the closing act of the airshow.



There were about 80,000 people there, apparently. Imagine standing in a crowd of 80,000 people, almost all at least 15-20 cm shorter than you. It's kind of surreal.
