Former Japanese Government Aircraft at Chitose Air Base

This image shows the former Japanese government aircraft taxiing after landing.
As it was simply returning to its parking area, I chose not to focus on it in detail here.
However, on the same day, I also witnessed the Blue Impulse aerobatic team flying with a Boeing 747 in the background — a truly rare and impressive scene, which I hope to share in a future post.

This final image captures the former Japanese government aircraft taxiing after landing, with its flaps and spoilers fully deployed.
While the aircraft was simply returning to its parking position, the details visible in this moment quietly reveal the scale, weight, and presence of a machine once entrusted with carrying Japan’s leaders.
It was a calm but powerful ending to a memorable day at Chitose Air Base.
