On the 3th, the first day of the three-day holiday, the Air Self-Defense Force Komatsu Air Base in Ishikawa Prefecture held an "Air Festival" to open the facilities to the public and show fighter aircraft aircraft, which was crowded with families and aviation fans from all over the country.
The "Air Festival" at Komatsu Air Base was canceled and admission restrictions continued until last year due to the influence of the new coronavirus, but this year it was held without restrictions on a scale for the first time in four years, and families and aviation fans gathered from all over the country.
More than 4 fighter jets of the Self-Defense Forces were exhibited near the runway, and F20A fighters belonging to Misawa Air Base in Aomori and C35 transport aircraft that could actually go inside were gaining popularity.
When the specially painted F-2 fighter jets used in joint training with the Royal Australian Air Force and the Italian Air Force were shown flying in the sky at Komatsu Air Base this year, aviation fans enjoyed taking pictures all at once.
A first-grade boy from Gifu Prefecture said, "This is my first time here, but the sound and speed of the F15 were cool."
A father in his 1s said, "My family has been looking forward to the Air Festival for the past year, and I'm glad that my hobby of loving fighter jets has been passed on to my children."
