The 6 Squadron was established on August 1, 1959, deployed at Chitose Air Base. It is the JASDF’s sixth squadron.

The 6 Squadron operated the F-86F Sabre before upgrading to F-1 in 1981. From 2004, the 6 Squadron began the transition to F-2.

This color profile is for 6 Squadron’s F-2 which attended the 2010 Tac Air Meet.

The 204 Hikotai was founded in 1964 operating F-104. From 1980s, the 204 Hikotai became the third f-15 squadron. It was dismiss for a short time. But it was reformed in 1985.

The 204 Hikotai attended the 2010 Tac Air Meet. Here is the color profile for this squadron’s F-15 with the special scheme for this event.

I attended 2010 China Air show photo competition. I had a chance to take pictures for the August 1st’s pilots and got a closer look of J-10 aircraft.

I spent some time indoor of the air show. I discovered this interesting item. This model is displayed by Aviation Industry Corporation of China. It looks like a sci-fi flight vehicle appeared in films like Avatar. But the concept is quite old, which could dates back to 1940s. It was quite popular then. Focke-Wulf VTOL Project is one of them. Whether this project could be carried out depends on if China can properly handle the control part. Hopefully, this helicopter could fly some day near future.
