I'm the only non-Japanese in my group.

Everyone is really laid-back. Except for the incipient field Nazi. Thankfully he seems to be hanging out more at a different field.

We have a great place to fly here. It isn't a grass field, but it is a huge site of a former amusement park bordering the sea. That gives us paved runways and wide open spaces. Grass would be great though. The big problem with paved runways is planes take a lot to slow down.

If you ever make it down to Takamatsu let me know. I'll take you out to the field.
