Nice. See, Japan, even having a nuclear powered carrier based in Yokosuka has its advantages...:)

Shinagawa's actually the southernmost JR station on the Tokyo ring - you pretty much have to go through there if you're heading back to Yokosuka. Huge station, very busy. They really did save this guy's life.
It's sort of a cultural thing - you can bet there were 20 Japanese guys crowding to help out as soon as somebody provided a spark of crazy initiative. When they think of Americans I'd like to have them think of two young guys who just went for it, guys who probably hate the "you are diplomats" lectures we used to get from command, and then they go out and do it anyway.

SONOBUOY PING!
Click on pic for past Navair pings.
Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.
