Following my first visit to Japan back in May 2018, I decided to visit Asia again in 2019, this time adding two more countries apart from Japan. This time I decided to visit South Korea, Taiwan and Japan.
This trip was made possible and easier thanks to three different airshows in each country that all fell within a particular time window, enabling planning to be easier. Firstly, I set out to South Korea for ADEX, one of the few possibilities that exist to be able to easily take pictures of South Korean military hardware. This was followed by a visit to Taiwan, starting with the Tainan Open Base Airshow organised by the Taiwanese military, and then on to Japan for the Shimofusa Airshow (which was eventually cancelled due to typhoons in Japan).
In between, I spent around two and a half weeks travelling across these countries spotting outside military air bases. Below you can find some of the highlights of my trip:
