Russ.

Correct.

The Taiki Multi-Purpose Aerospace Park (MAP) Located in a broad flat plain that spreads out for 30km along the coastline of the eastern shore of the Hokkaido Island in the northern part of Japan. October of 1995, was the formal inauguration of the Park, which covers a total area of 47 hectares.

In 2000 great improvements were carried out to the site with the addition of a paved landing strip measuring 1000 meters long and 60 meters wide. Also a flight test building was constructed to control the operations of test aircraft and to perform some data processing.


OH as you say.

Clint.
