I was stationed at Kadena 69-71 working at the air terminal. Used to see these take off heading west, climbing like a bat out of hell and gone out of sight very quickly. When they came back the were pretty damned high over he based and they made one swooping loop to land. Seemed more like a controlled crash than a landing..... We called them the Habu there.
Kadena, 84-88. Habu, indeed.
