General Note
October 1969, World Airways Flight to Vietnam The World Airways flight left Travis Air Force Base near San Francisco, 28 October 1969, about 0300, en route to Anchorage, Alaska, Us Air Force Base at Yokota, Japan and Final flight to Bien Hoa, Vietnam. Fujiyama, view from runway at US Air Force Base, Yakota, Japan. Immediately before landing in Japan, the World Airways jet flew around Fujiyama. The sky was crystal clear with Fujiyama an incredibly beautiful snow covered volcano. I escorted patients to Japan in July and September 1970. During those two trips the skies were either overcast or the air pollution was so severe that visibility was limited. So I never saw Fujiyama again, just those magical few minutes.
