EQUIPMENT INSPECTION: BY THE BOOK
Aircraft are lined up what looks like an inspection
252nd Kokutai. Zero fighters on left are A5M5, Model 52, and right looks like older A6M, Model 21.
POLICE THE AREA:
Before any inspection, personnel make a police (clean up) that's picking up anything that doesn't grow. Such inspections are SOP in any military world-wide, with a lot of "Hurry up and Wait" it would have pilots and mechanics and support personnel standing and don't forget to ware a clean uniform, support equipment, along with the maintenance logs as the "Brass" make a walk by....and spot inspection.
