Blue Impulse in 1996: Collecting Memories and Records of the Sky

FUJIYOSHI Takao STS Study Photo Exhibition,
winning the Prize for Encouragement, KAKIUCHI Yoshinobu Memorial Award

The jets of Blue Impulse, the aerobatic team of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, have been drawing their trajectories in the sky over Japan for more than 60 years. The team shows demonstrations at public openings of Self-Defense Force bases, major national events like the Olympic Games, and various local events, leaving a strong impression among spectators. This exhibition is of 70 photographic works recording the 1996 season, when the team was on a national tour using Kawasaki T-4 aircraft for the first time. Using these photos as a catalyst, we would like to hear about your memories of Blue Impulse.
