Yep, saw the news about the Washington. Scary biz, a fire aboard ship, yikes! Be safe and watch the forums for stuff to keep that motorcycle interest alive.
My dad was at Yokota in the early 50's during Korea. B-29's of the 344th Bombardment Sqdn. He's 3rd from the right in my avatar.My last memories of Yokosuka date back to 1955--- I was stationed at Johnson AB in the 3rd Bomb Wing, 90th Bomb Sqdn. flying B-26s.

We have a couple of members that have some Japanese blood in them,
nope as in Gunner's Mate marines
He did 20, retiring as a MSGT; NCOIC Combat Tactical Air Freqs for SE Asia. He liked Guam so much we stayed there after he got out. He passed 2.5 years later of cancer. He wondered if it was from some Agent Orange he came in contact with in Vietnam but there was no way to prove it.Yokota was about 5 miles off the North end of our runway--- There were lots of close calls because of Yokota's GCA and take offs at Johnson--- Did your dad stay in after the war? Is he still around?
Our squadron association is dwindling down fast!

I know Steve. Must be a small world...I've spent about 6 weeks total in Japan. I absolutely love that place. There can't be a more bike-crazy culture on the planet.
Imagine 3 freakishly tall white dudes....(I'm the freak in the middle)
