That is unreal, I bet someone decides in the future that the military bases be elevated enough above sea level to prevent this.

I think it’s a pretty good job of parallel parking, considering....:)

I agree with post number two,
Good to hear from you.
Yesterday I looked for any post from you and there were none that I found.
Gusee my prayers were answered.
You ok? Damage to your area?
You feel it? And how far from you is the epicenter?

I simply can not believe that this is all due to Hillary bending over and showing a bit of cheek. It is a huge moon but who woulda thunk her big ole butt could cause an earthquake and tsunami. She gots that big ole thing. Maybe her and Michelle bumped butts and caused it all.

Is that a current JAF plane, or could it be one of those retired ones like you see parked in front of city halls and VFW posts?

I doubt they’ve put their F-16’s out to pasture just yet.

Before buying your next used fighter aircraft, make you get your carfax report. You never know where your Plane has been.

Pure conjecture on my part:
For the aircraft to be in that good of shape, IMHO, it probably was on a tarmac somewhere adjacent to the building and the building was the first physical object it encountered after the tsunami floated and shoved it out of the area. Aircraft had to have floated in the tsunami and then deposited there before hitting much else.
A static display aircraft would be well anchored to avoid wind damage and IMHO, to be ripped free, would likely have caused considerably more damage to the wings and fuselage.

I doubt they’ve put their F-16’s out to pasture just yet. I don't think Japan has F-16s, but I could be wrong.
That plane is an F2.

You could be right. But it looks an awful lot like a 16. Perhaps it’s a licensed and modified production.
Either way, I don’t see it as a display from a park or anything.

Either way, I don’t see it as a display from a park or anything.That's right. The F-2 is their current fighter.
This link will give better information than I can. The drawing shows how much larger the F-2 is.
