I tried to do the best I could to provide a panoramic view of Torii starting out looking towards the JSPC Communications Center, which would be on the left, and moving right and up towards the main gate.  These pictures were taken in 1972.  References to buildings are identified as to the time I was stationed there. 

Graphics will take time to load.  Please be patient.
