Re: A Green Cross To Bear - the Japanese surrender flights
The formal surrender right in Tokyo Bay was pretty spectacular. The might of the Pacific Fleet safely at anchor in Japanese home waters, documents signed on the deck of a battleship, with waves of combat aircraft flying overhead -- it was an awesome show of force and a scene we'll never see the like of again.

Used to drive by/to Atsugi NAS a bunch and would almost always think about MacArthur landing there for the first time before the official surrender ceremony.
