23 Aug 2009- Went to Yokota Air Base Open House (they call it the US-Japan Friendship Festival) with Steven and Joni. First reaction when I alighted at Ushihama Station was...WOW!! I was shocked by the number of visitors. I did not even have to check my map for directions; the crowd brought me there. I did not remember having so many people at RSAF's open house. Later I read on the air base's website that more than 170,000 attended the 2-day event!!
Well...it's crowded at every event in Tokyo. Plus, they showcased the F22 Raptor!! The best all- rounded fighter plane in the world.

Let's take one side each
Since I already brought a ladder, I shall use it; even though no one is blocking in front of me.
(Yes I did some very extreme post processing and had overdone some of it. Shall redo them when I have time.)
