—”I said, “See what?”

A friend stationed at Okinawa took some photos of one at a distance.

He sent the film for processing and those photos and negatives did not return?

Guessing he used the Kodak mailers???

I was stationed on Okinawa in ‘77 and ‘78.
We called it “Habu.” It would fly around the island once a day from Kadena airbase. You could hear it where ever you were on the island. It was common for the Japanese to confiscate some of the negatives if you happen to bring them in for developing, even in the PX. Happened to me many times.
