Semper Fi - NAF Atsugi

Post by EsKaihla »

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 course had a day off from flying when I decided to go there to see them! Luckily, the US Marine Corps came to save the day :).

Your very welcome glad you enjoy it, I am hoping to update it next year as some of the units have moved back and forth between Lemoore and Atsugi.

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.gonavy.jp/. I'd especially recommend to check out the two message boards. Even though the site is in Japanese, there are lot's of interesting photos there, and they're not all from Atsugi (although they do have pretty much daily traffic reports there) :) .
