Nah, no payment. I volunteered to cover the event pro-bono. Maybe if I attend the Shizuoka Hobby Show next year, I might ask for their standard fee.
My friend sent me a scan of the page of my article. It looks like the editor selected mostly aircraft pictures and embellished a bit with giving some history on some of the more unique subjects, such as the Taiwanese jet fighter. It calls me "FSM's special correspondent." Well I'm special! (special!) So special! (special!) I gotta have some of your attention. Give it to me!
