The Japan Air Self-Defense Force’s aerobatic demonstration team Blue Impulse flew over Osaka on April 10 ahead of the World Expo 2025.

Six jets departed Kansai International Airport and flew in the sky of Osaka.

The jets flew over Osaka Castle, the 1970 Osaka Expo venue, and more.

Spectator / I was so overwhelmed.

Spectator / I’ll take better photos next time if they’re flying the same route on Sunday.

20 minutes after departure, the aircraft arrived above the World Expo 2025 Osaka venue. 

NNN Correspondent Ueno Takuro / They split into two and are drawing a circle.

It was the first time in 35 years the aerobatic team showed off their skills in Osaka.

The Blue Impulse is scheduled to have an airshow on April 13, when the Expo 2025 Osaka kicks off.
