 Masawa Air Base opened their doors to the Japanese public for AirFest, an air show with aircraft from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force and the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force. I think events like these are extremely important to the Japanese-American alliance and the way the relationship to work on several levels. I mean, the fact that, you know, the JASDAF side and the American side are working together to put on the show, let alone just shows a great camaraderie that exists there. But then also, the fact that we can actually give back a little bit as Americans on this base, you know, the Japanese are allowing us to be here and the fact that we can actually give back to them, put on a show, show them that we're here for good, we're here for them to strengthen that bond, I think is really awesome and I think it's really important because they allow us to live here, they allow us to work here and, you know, we get a taste of their culture all the time and a taste of their food and a taste of their experience and it's nice to give back a taste of ours.
