While stationed near Camp Zama, Japan, in the mid/late 60s, we lived in Minami-Rinkan village. It was about three miles from the main gate at Atsugi. We spent a lot of time there at the big PX, theater and club. Our house was on the flight path to NAS Atsugi and when the carriers were making for Yokosuka, those Phantoms and Crusaders would rattle our fillings, and keep the babies awake. Bob Hope put on a show at Camp Zama but only wounded personnel in GI robes and pajamas were allowed in.

You sent me some photos of Minami Rinkan a few years ago from when you lived there. We lived there when we first got to Atsugi while waiting for base housing. It was still under the flight path.
