Iruma Air Show





Hello everyone. Today was the Iruma Air show actually it was the JITAI Japan's self defense forces putting on the show. The jet planes of the Blue Impulse were there. They are like our blue angels. It was amazing and from our apartment window we had about a half view. If we had gone up on the 8th floor of our neighbors building we probably could have seen more. There were others already doing that and it was crowded everywhere. This was way more crowded than the Matsuri last weekend. But we were able to see paratroopers jumping out of big C-130 type planes and the heart stopper were the Blue Impulse jets. Man they were good. They were also loud. There was turning and switching and rolling and that was just me trying to get a good picture with my little digital camera. It was frustraiting like trying to catch a fly by hand. But it was a great show. The picts are far away but when you click on them you can see a small speck of a plane or a fly and that is what I think I got.
