The Kawasaki T-4 is an intermediate trainer with the Japan Air Self Defense Force (JASDF), first flying on 29JUL1985. The first production T-4 was delivered in September 1988, replacing the aged U.S. designed Lockheed T-33.

In 1995, the JASDF acrobatic team, Blue Impulse, switched from using the Mitsubishi T-2 to the then newer Kawasaki T-4. They are based at Matsushima Air Base.

My compilation of T-4 Blue Impulse videos during the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Iwakuni ‘Friendship Day’ air shows, 2017 to 2024. I went through many U.S. Marine Corps videos to single out the Kawasaki T-4 Intermediate Trainer serving as the Blue Impulse acrobatic team:

I came across several silent color U.S. Air Force (USAF) films documenting the Tenth Conferencia de Jefes de las Fuerzas Aéreas Americanas (ConJeFAmer, Conference of the American Air Chiefs). This ConJeFamer took place during the first half of May 1970 and not only included a demonstration of USAF air power but also lavish reception parties and trips to San Antonio, Vegas, the Hoover Dam and Disneyland! (at the end of the article find out when this Air Chief thing started and learn that it is still ongoing)
Remember, this conference was conducted while the U.S. was conducting war in a place called Viet Nam.
Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).
The films were silent so I added mood music. The films were recorded by Airman First Class Snyder and A1C Wedgeworth.
The whole thing began with an aircraft display on Albrook Air Force Base (now Marcos A. Gelabert International Airport) in Panama, 01MAY1970:
Second, the generals were treated to a Department of State reception party in Washington DC, 02MAY1970. I edited from silent USAF film (I added music):
Next, a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, 03MAY1970:
The generals get ‘taken for a ride’ in San Antonio, Texas; the Tower, canals and Lone Star Beer. I edit film recorded on 07MAY1970:
The generals get rides in T-38 Talons, launching from Randolph AFB, Texas. This video I edited was recorded between May 6th and 8th, 1970. Check out the old (new) cars:
Off to California and Disneyland, check out the lack of traffic on California freeways! I edited film recorded on 10MAY1970:
The generals were transported across the U.S. on the VIP (very important person) VC-137 Stratoliner (a modified 707, it is not a version of the KC-135). I edited this video to show the route flown from Andrews AFB, Maryland, to Randolph AFB, Texas, to Norton AFB, California, to Nellis AFB, Nevada. The films were recorded between May 2nd and 12th, 1970:
The luggage of the generals was transported on a C-141 Starlifter. I edited this video to show the route flown from Andrews AFB, Maryland, to Randolph AFB, Texas, to Norton AFB, California, to Nellis AFB, Nevada:
This video I put together shows a Lockheed C-130E Hercules performing Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System (LAPSE) and Short Take-Off & Landing (STOL) on Indian Springs Auxiliary Field (now Creech AFB) in Nevada, 12MAY1970:
This video I edited shows live ground attack runs by F-4D & E Phantoms on Indian Springs Auxiliary Field (now Creech AFB) in Nevada, 12MAY1970:
Next, it’s a visit to the Hoover Dam, 12MAY1970:
Finally, a tour of Las Vegas, with a reception party for the generals in the Sands hotel/casino, 12MAY1970:
The so-called ConJeFamer is still conducted today, through the System of Cooperation Among the American Air Forces (SICOFAA). SICOFAA was proposed by the United States Air Force, which held the first meeting on Randolph AFB, Texas, in April 1961. The USAF is considered the ‘network control station’, operating out of Davis-Monthan AFB in Arizona.
In June2026, the ConJeFAmer host country was the Dominican Republic.
Already I’m hearing zealots around the world claiming this is god’s vengeance, people should repent and join a religion.
Guo Zhaocheng, a scientist with China’s Ministry of Natural Resources, says a glacier in Nepal collapsed into the Bhotekoshi river (part of the Trishuli River system of Nepal, not to be confused with Bhote Koshi), creating a temporary dam of ice and boulders, which collected water in a temporary lake.
On 26AUG2026, the temporary debris dam broke resulting in a ‘biblical’ avalanche of water, mud, ice and boulders.
Guo Zhaocheng estimates the avalanche hit speeds of 50 meters per second (112 miles per hour), no human could escape! The debris field stretched more than 20 kilometers (12 miles).
China’s military was deployed to China’s border area of Gyirong in Xizang Autonomous Region:
On the Nepal side: There are reports that flooding is ongoing, and that another debris dam has formed. Scientists warn that the new debris dam (at an elevation of approximately 2950 meters) could hold 3-million cubic meters of water.
Geologist explains, warns that two lakes are forming:
In the name of fighting inflation, Tyson & Trump want to shutdown U.S. ranchers in favor of foreign cattle. Ranchers do not set market prices for beef, the corporate commodity ‘free’ market place does that, yet what Tyson & Trump are doing directly attacks U.S. ranchers.
U.S. suspends agricultural inspections in one Mexican state, halting imports to the U.S. market. It’s blamed on ‘National Security’, but is it actually about money?:
Arkansas farmers quit because they can’t earn enough, blaming operating cost inflation and crashing commodity prices (the so called ‘free market’):

Even though it was donated by oil rich Qatar, supposedly at least $400-million was spent on U.S. military upgrades for the venerable Boeing 747-8i. Despite the upgrades the presidential plane is considered a temporary vehicle, which is why it has been officially named Bridge. The latest controversy involves the Secret Service telling the President of the U.S. (PotUS) to stop using it because it lacks ‘security protections’ (defensive countermeasures).
First flight with PotUS onboard, 01JUL2026. Destination Medora, North Dakota, to attend the dedication of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library.
It has been reported that President Donald John Trump chose the red, white, gold and blue livery, however the initial blue and white livery renderings were issued with a statement saying that the “President of the United States selected the livery design.”
Was the livery for VC-25B supposed to be similar to the older VC-25? USAF rendering of the VC-25B, dated 10MAR2026.
Here is the timeline of decision making; this airliner was donated during Trump’s first term in office and it was then that the red, white, gold and blue livery was chosen. Then, Joseph Robinette Biden Junior became President and changed the livery to the old blue and white scheme. Trump is now President again, so naturally…
Upgrades and flight testing complete, the naked VC-25B takes-off to get a new red, white, gold and blue livery.
The ‘Bridge’ arrives in Waco, Texas, for its new paint job.
With the addition of the new VC-25-Bridge, to the growing fleet of ‘Air Force One’ aircraft (Presidential Airlift Group aka PAG aka 89th Airlift Wing), the old VC-25’s nomenclature was changed to VC-25A. ‘Air Force One’ is actually an air traffic control call-sign used to identify any aircraft carrying the PotUS.
Freshly painted Bridge on its new home of Joint Base Andrews, Maryland.
Check out those hyper expensive Secret Service limos, video via Technical Sergeant Isaac March, location Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, 01JUL2026:
Can you tell the difference between the VC-25B & VC-25A? The USAF’s VC-25B and VC-25A, assigned to the 89th Airlift Wing, take-off from Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, during the Freedom 250 celebration 04JUL2026. Compilation of videos via First Lieutenant Alexis Kula, Technical Sergeant Sean Evans and TechSgt Isaac March:
Even Mount Rushmore couldn’t escape the Freedom 250 flyover!
Sometime after the Freedom 250 flyover the Secret Service determined that the VC-25B lacked ‘defensive countermeasures’ and insisted that the PotUS not use it for international flights. This resulted in a delay in retirement of the VC-25A, which Trump used on his NATO visit to Turkey.
VC-25B arrives on RAF (Royal Air Force) Mildenhall, but not with the President?
While the civilian population struggles with a bad economy, the U.S. Navy (USN) revealed it spent billions of tax dollars on failed projects, as well as discovered that their hi-tech Tomahawk systems could be missing thousand of missiles!
