Thanks for that link, Matt!

Nasa Dryden FRC has also some books freely available in PDF format. One I can really recommend is the biography of Nasa test pilot Donald L. Mallick, titled as "The Smell of Kerosene". Enjoyable reading!

Thank you for your help, guys! The images are now hosted elsewhere for forum use. I'll contact my website provider and ask if they can check and remedy the problem with their system for future use.

After the earthquake and tsunami in March the carrier air wing was relocated to Guam, where they stayed until late April. Of course I couldn't resist making a few trips there to see the action, even though the weather wasn't always cooperating. Hope you'll enjoy these few shots.

Thanks for the info, Mike. Haven't got any alternative sites at this moment, I'll have to check if I can find some other place to upload them. It is indeed starting to look like that the problem is caused by the site my photos are located. They must have changed something there which prevents the ...

Have you tried with any other browser?

Yes, tried with IE (the only other browser I have), got the same message about unable to determine image dimensions. Pretty much the only thing left I haven't tried is to try posting from my wife's computer. Quite puzzling, as the images are processed the ...

Thanks Mike and Dan,

Appreciate your efforts, I have no intention of stopping to post photos, once I get this problem sorted. I tried a few more times, and once I actually got following message: "It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image."

I tried including the image size ...

Thank you for your input, guys!

All the photos are located on my website (separate folder for forum posts as I usually do). All of them are 800x533 pixels and less than 200 Kb in size. I have posted here before in similar manner without any problems, few sample threads below:

I'm having trouble posting a thread to the photo forum with images (using the IMG tag). If I post a message without any images it goes fine, but as soon as I add the photos the submit gets stuck and, given enough time, will result in a blank white page being displayed. I have tried with both 5 and ...

A RQ-4 Global Hawk from Guam. It will also be used to assess the damage in the worst hit areas.

Both Matsushima Air Base and Sendai Airport have been cleared enough to allow emergency supplies to be flown in.

Only noticed your post now... sorry if this comes too late. Here is F-2A/B serials as listed in a Japanese magazine (has similar info on some other types, too). The book is from 2008, so more recent might be missing.

Finally I have managed to collect all the colorful "Boss Birds" of the CVW-5 (apart from the helos)! I'll use that achievement as an exuse to list them all here :) .

As promised, I'll try post some other photos besides Atsugi ones... Here's a few from this years Iruma Air Show. Although the event has various equipment on display from various bases around Japan, only Iruma based units take part in the flying displays (apart from JASDF aerobatic team Blue Impulse ...

Glad you like them. I try to post some other shots beside Atsugi ones as well. It's just within easy reach for me (and it's pretty active so one can always be sure to see some action) so I tend to go there more often.

Just as a side note... there's an rather interesting website at http://www ...

It's been a while since I have last posted anything, but let's fix that right now. Before that, though, I want to say a big thanks for the MAIW team for the superb NAF Atsugi scenery & traffic package!

OK, on to the pics... CVN-73 is back and so is the associated Carrier Air Wing. However, they of ...

Thank you, I use Canon EF70-300mm IS USM lens with Canon 30D body. Atsugi is good place to take photos, as even 200mm lens would be enough for everything except the smallest aircraft. It is reasonably busy as well, at least when the air wing is not deployed on the carrier. Here are a few more recent ...
