• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

100s of photos of US Forces in Japan

Itazuke AB was co-located with Fukuoka City airport and as you can see from the website it was a great place for shooting photos, always a mixed bag of military and commercial aircraft. On one commercial flight I made from there in 1971 I saw a JAL 727, a Cessna, a JASDF T-33 and a USAF C-130 all moving down the taxiway ahead of us. :)

I feel your pain, even after all these years. Remember Akadama Wine with the big red "meatball" on the label? Goes down easy like sangria or wine coolers but God help ya the next morning. We used to call it "being run over by the Red Ball Express". :icon_lol:
