Photographer's Note
What a lumbering old giant this was. A C-124, I think {I never knew my airplanes very well]. A relic of times past, for sure. I doubt there is even an American Air Base there today. Most Americans arriving in Japan in the '60s landed at Tachikawa AB. This was the first part of Cold War Japan they saw.
As is usually the case, the camera, lens I took it with are a guess.

C-124 Globemaster it is.... Tachikawa? Hmmm Not sure. But this image has a lot of historic value. Makes the double deck A380 look like a cheap copy!

The base is still there, and they still have an air show once every year. Nice picture.
