Japanese Air Self Defense Force

One highlight of the airshow was being able to walk through some of the aircraft on static display. One of these was this Boeing KC767J from the Japanese Air Self Defense Force. The KC767 is based on Boeing's B767-2FK/ER commercial airliner.

There are some obvious modifications, including the large cargo door on the front left and the rather impressive refueling flying boom air-to-air refueling system out the back.

Inside are around 200 seats which makes it a bit odd that all the windows have been blanked out (still, there's usually nothing to see during any long flight, so no great loss...). Aside form that, the inside is fairly spartan with no overhead lockers or anything, all economy seating and, obviously, no IFE :-).
