F-86 & F-4C static birds - Kadena AB, Okinawa

Post by jaywhy8202 » Sun Apr 01, 2007 8:48 am

Shots of static display F-86 & F-4C at Kadena Air Park, Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, JA.

Notice the heavy-duty anchors on the landing gear -- this is to prevent the static birds from blowing-away during typhoons, which are common to Okinawa.

Aircraft on display are painted in livery of 18th FW/TFW.

Kadena Air Base is home to F-15s and KC-135s and is the hub of airpower in the Pacific, and home to the Air Force’s largest combat wing—the 18th Wing—and a variety of associate units.

Present-day USAF tailcode for all 18th Wing aircraft assigned to Kadena is "ZZ".
