Yokota Air Force Base
On Sunday I went with my friend to the US Air Force base in Yokota for a Friendship festival and air show. It was not much of an air show, which was probably why they called it a Friendship festival instead. Still, thousands of Japanese people came and awed at the American flying machines, paid extremely high prices for American foods, and waited in huge lines for everything. The only real air show aspects were some fly-bys from some F/A-18s and F-16s, and a helicopter demonstration.
If you didn’t know, these are F/A-18s

Eiji infront of a …. I forgot. It’s not one of the cool planes.
The line to get on the plane was 10 times what you see here
