The Japan Air Self-Defense Force's acrobatic flight team "Blue Impulse" is considered appropriate when landing at Iruma Air Base in Saitama Prefecture after conducting an exhibition flight over Tokyo in August prior to the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Paralympics. I used color smoke at a height well below the altitude.

After that, there were a series of reports that the dye had adhered to ordinary cars around the base, and as a result of investigation by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, it was judged that it was extremely likely that some of them were color smoke dyes. That is.
