NAF Atsugi gate Guard F14 accessible to public?


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am traveling to Japan at the end of January. I would like to take an afternoon to go to NAF Atsugi. Is the F14 gate guard there accessible to the public? This would be one of the major reasons for visiting Atsugi.

 

Thank you for the info.

Wonder how much an international phone call would cost?
This looks like a probable number to try,

Definitely have to get inside the gate to see the F-14 from what this shows, https://www.google.com/maps/place/NAF+Atsugi+Vehicle+Registration+Office+(VRO)/@35.4574346,139.4350841,346m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m12!1m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x69d83a4d40718121!2sNaval+Air+Facility+Atsugi!8m2!3d35.4581818!4d139.4478945!3m4!1s0x0:0xad322c43f87e0e7f!8m2!3d35.458503!4d139.4334179

I'm not familiar with Navy base security, having been in the Air Force,  but unless you have a need to be on the base I have a feeling that your chances of getting past the gate are not that good.  Especially since the recent shootings. 

Even when I was in you had to get permission to enter, and have a valid reason, and be vouched in by someone who will take the responsibility of your actions..

Thanks everyone. It is a shame that I wont be able to see it. It looks well preserved and wearing VF squadron colours so that is a bonus!

 

Would anyone be able to recommend where I might see fighters flying near Tokyo? Years ago in Sapporro I got to see Eagles and that was great. I would like to see F2s, F15s and especially F4s.

 

cheers

Tom
