Cool...thanks for the clarification!  I bet it's difficult understanding the Japanese controllers, but at the same time, I'm sure US Military controllers (like you) have a difficult time understanding the pilots on the other side, the radar side.


I seem to have a harder time understanding the Kagoshima controllers vs. the local national okinawa approach controllers.  Hehe I remember when I was doing a flight from Amami to Kadena, I was on the Naha Control freq, a Quantas jet was trying to get in contact with Naha Control (the man had a heavy accent), it went something like this:

Quantas:  Naha Control, Quantas 229 with you.......
NC: Quantas 339, roger...
Quantas: Naha Control this is Quantas 229....
NC: Quantas 329, roger...
Quantas (getting aggrivated): This is QUANTAS 2...2...9
NC: Oh, Quantas 229 roger...

Got a good chuckle out of an otherwise boring flight
