Abandoned: Fuchu Air Station

Fuchu Air Station present day...

Warning: Be advised. If you risk trespassing into the FAS perimeter (punishable by deportation for foreign nationals and prison sentences for natives), do not, I repeat, DO NOT climb this tower. It is not dormant. It is a functioning - operational 24/7 - microwave emitting antenna. You will suffer internal burns and quite possibly death. 

... and how it looked back then.

Out for a Morning Bite

Saw this 427 Cobra pass me in an intersection. I boogied through some neighborhoods and caught up with him! (cuz he stopped to watch a little league game for a minute!) At the next light, I pulled over and asked if I could take a snap. He happily obliged. Thumbs up. Gave me a nice throttle rev and take off from the light. Didn't get a long enough look to see if it was original aluminum bodied Cobra. Emblems displayed "427 Cobra" It was definitely a big block sound. Kit repro or original, not sure. Anyone?
