... to annoy you guys. ^_^
(wonder if it comes out the way it should)
========================================
The Japanese did their best to show off their stuff (and the stuff they use from the other nations). There were displays of obsolete yet still functional N-1, the N-4 and N-5, which are German designs, and the N-3 and A-N-1, which are French designs. Mitsubishi had its display with formation flying of all six of its aircraft present.
There was also a friendly combat display with Goto Sachio’s Goto Special IX and Oonishi Manzo’s Akaryu IV. After the diplay, Manzo wanted to go up again for a solo display, but the Imperial Guards grabbed him before he could get into his plane and dragged him off.
Comments by the various people:
AWNR: Japan reporter Nagano Yasunori went around and asked some questions.
For some reason, Oonishi Manzo was not availabe for any comments...
Nakamura Jomei
- About the Manzo incident: “It is quite fortun… unfortunate that we had to drag him out of his plane. We do have the safety of the Emperor and Empress to consider... and of course the public (and I hate to track down my sword-wielding sisters, chasing him all across the Iberian Peninsula).”
- About the airshow: “Not too bad, but flying is definitely not in my blood.”
Emperor Shodahito
- About the Manzo incident: “There was an incident involving Manzo-kun? Damn!! I must have missed that!”
- On the airshow: “I thought it was quite impressive. I would have loved to see more, though. I still can’t stand it that I missed that incident.”
Shogun Tokugawa Kaetuza
