Request someone out there create airport scenery for either Kadena AFB (RODN) and or Naha Airport Okinawa (OKA) for P3D5 and or V4.5
My Dad was stationed there back in 1957 when he made W-1 (Navy) and I was 12 years old then. He went there first without us then he had to find housing
for us then we left Memphis TN and went to San Francisco where we sailed on a troop transport and eventually arrive at the port of Naha Okinawa.
We were there for three years and returned state side in 1960.
A Naval Air Facility was established at Naha Air Base, and naval communications were stationed there where my Dad was assigned.
The U.S. Navy remained in Naha until May 7, 1975, when Fleet Activities, Okinawa, relocated from Naha to Kadena Air Base.
The airfield was turned over to Japan were they converted the airport to a civilian airport.
NAF Naha maintained support and repair of Naval fleet aircraft as well as P2V, P3 and WV-1 Connies.
The ARMY had a couple of tug boats that would guide various naval ships to the port of Naha. Why ARMY I don't know.
Orbx did made this scenery for X-plane and I think MSFS as well.
Click here for info,
Thanks for your time.
