Hello guys,

Haven't had a great deal to post recently, but I thought you guys might be interested in some F-4 shots from Hyakuri. I've visited five times over the last 18 months or so, and never quite had the sort of day I would have liked. Finally at the fifth time of asking, the stars aligned!

First up some F-4EJs from 302 Hikotai:

Now some RF-4Es and RF-4EJs from 501 Hikotai:

Outstanding set of shots, it looks like the Emperor willed a good day for you.

Hyakuri and Wittmund are #1 and #2 on my dream-list, but sadly neither will still be flying F-4s by the time I'm in a position to go to either.

Paul,

Those are some outstanding images.  The weather looked cold, but very clear!  Some great composition on those as well.  I really like the 1st & 3rd shots in the F-4EJ series.

Joe,

Never say never...cough cough James cough cough AzAP Far East Photocall cough cough...

Great capture on the F-4 - love that color scheme!

Side note, when I was a teenager the Thunderbirds flew the F-4E. They did a show with those bad boys at Falcon Field. My parent's home is not far from Falcon. We sat on the roof and watched them practice the day before the show. I can still remember the ROAR as the F-4's would come over the house - off the charts!

Due to the %$*&@$ landing long situation even Contractor's Way isn't a sure bet. This was the best I got from TWO passes.
