Held today was the annual air show at nearby Miho Air Base. The airbase celebrating its fiftieth year also doubles as a civil airport and is collectively known as Miho-Yonago Airport. This year, due to the continuing upward trend across the oil markets, a more economical and environmental approach was taken.
Most of the air displays were cancelled due to the weather being oddly overcast. There was however the chance to meet the pilots of Blue Impulse, Japan’s aerobatic display team. What I found overly funny was that instead of queues of children, it was middle aged men getting autographs and their photo taken along side their idols.
