百里基地 F-4 ファントム 最後の梅雨、もうすぐ終わる “ Grasshopper “ JASDF 301sq F-4 Phantoms , 3sq F-2 Viper Zero

[@磯田勝宏]

2020年、雨の季節。 百里基地の とある日の風景。 2021年、そしてまた巡ってきた、雨の季節。 今年も百里では同様の光景があったのでしょうね。 ただ一つの違いを除いて…。 BGMが醸し出す穏やかな雰囲気に包まれて、 映像がいっそう味わい深く染み込んできます。 季節ならではの光景と思えば、 梅雨も決して悪いものではありませんね。 小雨のなか、離陸していくファントムの疾走感は、 いま見ても心が沸き立ちます。 アップありがとうございます。

[@viperzero8501]

ベトナム戦争の時代、僕らの学校の直上を飛んでいたF-4。さらに時が経ち、ファントム無頼の連載最終回が近づき「ああ、時代は単座F-15か。ついにF-4も退役だなあ・・・」と感慨深く思った1980年代初頭。まさか40年後も我が国の空の守りの一翼を担っているとは想像もしませんでした。21世紀 ＝ 未来世紀ですよ！ありがとうF-4EJ！そしてこれほど長期に渡る現役任務を可能にしてくれた歴代の整備の皆様に心の底から敬意を表します。本当にありがとう！

[@check6tristan80]

静と動の鮮やかな対比。映像も音声もBGMも憎らしいほどマッチしていよう。随所にやがて去りゆくファントムへの愛惜の想いが溢れているのは無論だが、観る者に感動を与え、背後に在るはずの、さまざまなストーリーを想い描かせる素晴らしさ。これはもはや最良質の短編映画である。

[@ぶんです-e5i]

子供時代に新谷かおるの「ファントム無頼」でF-4に触れ親しんだのが最初でした。 それから40年以上魔改造を重ねいまだ飛び続ける老兵も本年度で最後かとおもうと感慨が深いです

[@ankokuya_hiro]

叩き付けられるような着艦を可能にした頑丈な降着装置が、長い長い任務を支えてきたのですね。 飛沫を巻き上げて伸び上がるように離れてゆく機体を、足下まで見せていただけて幸せです。 1-300さん、そして、管理部隊の皆さんありがとうございます。

[@鈴木悠介-k9o]

日本の大空をこんなにキレイに飛んでいた飛行機があったこと忘れない　これで全ての1/48スケール F4ファントムが終わる 4機全てが最高の出来だった ありがとうファントム

[@doraneko13748]

素敵なBGMですね。 5:28草を刈る作業車、整列するF-4、滑走するT-4、次々と離陸するF-4 何度みてもグッときます。 草を刈る作業は初めて見ました。こういう場面も入れてくれるのがとても有難いです。

[@johngalt3568]

I love the crane, the hawk and the guys cutting grass with the lawnmowers. Those elements made the video beautiful as much as the Phantom touch and go in the opening and the F2 takeoff with all the condensation. Your videos are not just about aircraft. They are about life intersecting with all that airborne thunder we like to watch. Don’t lose your magic my friend: you have a gift. As always, thanks for sharing that gift with us. 本当にありがとうございました

[@markw208]

Yes! What he captures in his videos is much deeper than aircraft at an airfield

[@冨田裕一-y8p]

素敵な映像ありがとうございます。 イーグルやF２のオレンジがかったABもいいけど、F４の重厚な黒みがかった紅色ABが好きです。今の時期はこういうしっとりしたのが良いですが、梅雨が明けたら、また元気のあるF４も観たいですね✨ 老兵は死なず、F４Forever

You know. It's gonna be bittersweet when 301 transitions to The F-35. And I think it will be heart breaking when The Phantoms fly for the final time. I hope planes like 315 are given a place of honor. Where generations not born yet can see and appreciate the what I have always believed is the most beautiful fighter plane to have ever been built.

[@れんとんさーすとん-c3w]

いつも、とても素敵な映像。 機材にどれだけお金をかけているとかじゃなくて、シナリオないところからどうやって繋いで、ファントムじゃないものを撮ってどうやってファントムの日常、しかも美しく見せる構成を現場で撮っているのか、いつもスゴい作品です。 本当に素晴らしい。 一度でいいから最初から最後までの製作過程を見てみたいです。 プロの方だったらごめんなさい。 でもプロ以上。 プロならトップの方ですね。 次回も楽しみにしています。

[@aaronlopez3585]

Hard to describe, it is calming on one end the F4's and F2's do there phenomenal jobs of protecting the nation while the field maintenance crews do theirs. Everyone's job is vital. Thanks 1-300 as always.

[@酒井哲明]

良いですね。 現役(地上勤務)の時はちょっといやだったけど今となったら懐かしい。 別の場所でしたが昨年最後の勇姿を見ました。 もう、あの独特の音と重々しい離陸にパラシュートの着陸は見られません。 途中見えたデリバリーバイクみたいなのはブルーインパルスもどきを披露したのと同型かも。 モップが数本消えた逸話つきの。

[@電ボ30郎]

Beautiful, as always. It makes me sad to see the JASDF Phantoms being retired, but all we need to do now to remember is to hit play on one of your videos. Thank you for putting them on youtube.

[@iPlayObjectivesSon]

Truly some of the best aviation footage ever. Incredibly soothing. Thank you for these!

[@村雨の大吉]

ファントムじいちゃん、今でも堂々として強そう。

[@EdwardRLyons]

These are incredibly beautiful and evocative videos. The filming, editing, sound (and the choice of music) are top class. And I love the cameos of airfield life and activity that you include: the personnel doing pick-up outside the hangar to prevent FOD; the maintenance personnel working on or moving aircraft; the scooter checking the taxiways and runways for debris; the grass cutters. Absolutely superb!

[@mikes9939]

Hard to describe in words how calming and unique these videos are. The inclusion of all the other elements around the field, the birds, the lawnmowers, the FOD crew and so many other things that are never noticed in other videos join together with the aircraft to create a harmony, aided by the music that seems to convey a peaceful existence with everything around one another. The slow motion video capture aids you is seeing the finer details of the Phantoms that I had not noticed before. Every video is a pure pleasure to view. I love the old Phantoms and these videos have brought new life into seeing them in action again but in a very different way than any other videos I have ever seen.

[@1-300]

Thank you for your comment.

[@channelthefire2745]

i must admit that your camera tracking is so good that my mind has a hard time believing that the aircraft shots are real. Good Job!

[@aleksimakela6787]

Thank you for another great video showing ground personnel as well. As an aircraft mechanic I find your work important, because in my country our profession is overlooked by many. You show us as we are, integral part of any flight mission conducted. I hate to promote my profession like this, but I think it is important that you get the appreciation for the work you do. Came because of the Phantoms. Stayed because of your magnificence. Will stay. ありがとございます from Finland.

[@柴太朗]

素晴らしい動画ありがとうございます

[@AlexvanNoije]

Really love this video. Sad that the Phantoms will disappear in Japan. I saw them last year in November for the first and last time. happy that I captured a glimpse of these Samurai's. To be honest the F-2 Viper Zero is a very nice successor for the Phantom! Personally I saw them during a nice day at Tsuiki during the same trip last year. very colorful and unique aircraft to see. many thanks for this video, greetings from the Netherlands 😎👍

[@Joshua_N-A]

Mitsubishi stop making F-2 back in 2012 I think. The price tag? 127 million USD for one plane.

Nobody has filmed Phantoms as well as you have. You bring back wonderful memories of my days flying the Rhino but you make me feel so very, very old.

[@Raanan_Kovesh]

Rhino? I thought that Rhino is the nickname of the F-18 and the Phantom nicknamemd Dubble ugly.

The Japanese airforce kept their F4s in such good condition they still looked like new even at the end of service.

[@oldgoat142]

I thought I would have had the time to watch this when it first came out, but between my professional and home lives there was precious little time. I wanted to watch this at a proper time; to savor this as I would a fine wine. Tonight is the night. I have carved out down time from my schedule. The video, no the cinema, I just viewed was worth the wait. It was soothing to me. The music. The new and not so new jets. The crews; air, ground, or grounds keeping, all working together. The thunder of the jets in afterburner. All of it mellowed me out, brought a smile to my face, and even inspired me to begin writing another chapter of my book. Arrigato, 1-300, from one of your biggest fans.

[@nolanolivier6791]

I lived near Iwakuni as a boy; then later moved to Tottori ken ( near Yonago). The distinct shape of the F4 is a common feature of my childhood memories. I will always remember the sleek, dart-like shape of the Phantom.

[@lordvalentine471]

Wow what a great video spent three years at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma Arizona has a mechanic on these for vmfat-101 back in the day

[@copperheadysf23a85]

Good to see some more of the F-2 in your videos, especially along side the F-4. I know will be a saddening to see the F-4 retire from Japanese service, but your videos are really providing the best possible respect and tribute to the end of their career, and for so many to enjoy. Thank you for your videos.

[@Joshua_N-A]

Mitsubishi stopped making F-2s in 2011 or 2012 iirc. Too expensive I think, 127 million USD each.

[@Raanan_Kovesh]

Thank you again for a great art. I think the JASDF should keep on flying the Phantoms on and on even if it was only for your great work. By the way, it is the first time that I see a drogue parachute in F- 16 ( F-2). The IAF F-16's don't use them. Thank you again for making all of us happy.

When/if they retire the F-2 I don't think there will be the same emotion as saying goodbye to the Phantom. Just the opinion of a person who grew up when the F-4 was still the frontline fighter everywhere, just before the 14s and 15s took over.
