Kakamigahara Airshow

Nov

Did you go to the airshow on Sunday? It looked like everyone in Gifu was there! It was more crowded than last year.

I arrived about midday, so we were too late for the formation flying display, but we were in time for a helicopter show, which Owen really liked. He was a bit scared by the loud jets though, especially the F-15 Eagle and F4 Phantom. But by then I was ready to leave anyway - I didn`t want to get caught in the closing time crush like last year.

What`s your favourite JSDF jet fighter? I think I like the F-4 best, even though (because?) it`s old. Japan is one of only a few countries in the world still flying them.

I envy you. I missed the show. I hope to watch it next year.
I don't know the jet fighters well. But I like to watch airplanes. I don't get tired when I watch flying them long time in the airport.
By the way, what does JSDF mean? He,he...

JSDF = Japan Self-Defense Forces (In Japanese: jieitai).

If you like watching airplanes, maybe you should go to the shopping centre called Airport Walk in Kasugai. You can have lunch in a restaurant & watch planes taking of & landing while you eat - great! I want to do that again sometime.
