Tour - Japan fighters

Military aviation – October/November 2019

Information

In October/November 2019 we intend to organise another ‘Japan fighter tour’. During this tour we plan to visit the major fighter bases in Japan (Chitose, Misawa, Hyakuri, Komatsu, Naha, etc.). We will try to stay for two days at each base. The tour will therefore be longer than two weeks. We will also use several domestic flights (mostly in the evening) to move between the bases. We will visit the air show at Iruma as well during the tour.

We have organised a ‘Japan fighter tour’ twice before. The reports are here; 2014 and 2016.
