Misawa Air Festival Part 2

My mother in law being the smart one, separated with us upon entering the base since she knew that both of the males would be walking and queuing and all she wanted was to buy the cakes and sit around. Walked over to Japan Air Defence side and saw the row of Blue Impulse planes and many people queuing to take pictures and get autographs from the Blue Impulse pilots. For those who are unfamiliar with Blue Impulse, it is actually Japan's Air Self Defence Force (JASDF) aerobatic display team. The criteria to enter was not only strict but the pilots and engineers are cream of the crop.

However after walking and queuing for 2 hours +, I was getting tired and escaped back to my mother in law who had brought everything like the mat and raincoats so we managed to keep dry as the rain became heavy.
