Was at both Yokota and Kadena. We diverted to Yokota right before typhoon Kompasu blew through.

Honestly, reading. Take a book with you and read. It will keep your mind off things. The problem with airsickness is you will become fixed on an object away from you, with the visual sensation that everything around you is moving...just like seasickness. If you have something very close to you, this lessens the effects.

Plus, if you keep your head down reading, it'll be closer to your azz when you gotta kiss it goodbye as the plane goes down. Just kidding! [Cool]

wow! looks like a lot of fun to see the world and see these jet fighters.

What could someone earn in the air force with a undergraduate and graduate degree? [Confused]

Australian women love us much, much more. [Big Grin]

Really depends on the field of study. I've seen people walk in the door as a Officer and make bank...and never even see Officer Training School.

Always great pic! Those f-18's are sick. Do you ever see the Raptors? Do they ever mess around or do fly bys?

I took a bunch of pics a few trips ago of Raptors. We had one peel off from us after a refuel, bank around the right side of the jet, and fly around us...in full afterburner. [burnout]
