    Whiskey Papa, a popular air-show pilot in Japan, writes in the sky during the Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni Friendship Day 2016 Air Show, May 5, 2016. Flying for more than 20 years, Masahiro Utsumi has competed in many international aerobatic competitions and he is one of the many air show performers to take the skies at this year’s Friendship Day. Since 1973, MCAS Iwakuni has conducted a single-day air show and open house specifically designed to foster positive relationships between the air station and our Japanese hosts, and the event traditionally draws more than 200,000 visitors and participants. This year is the 40th Friendship Day, offering a culturally enriching experience that displays the mutual support that the U.S. and Japan share. This annual event showcases a variety of static displays, aviation performances and demonstrations, and provides food and entertainment for guests of the largest single-day event in Iwakuni.
