HISTORIC MITSUBISHI PLANES
I visited the Komaki South Plant of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. In front of the company's historical museum, they display Mitsubishi's historic planes that were once used by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
This is the F104J - the supersonic fighter of the 1950s that could fly at Mach 2. Note the amazingly short main wings. Mitsubishi built this Lockheed bird under license in Japan.
Another US fighter built under license in Japan - the F86F. Some may remember the Korean War when looking at this bird.

これはF104J。1950年代のマッハ2で飛べる超音速戦闘機。主翼がなんと短いことか。三菱はこのロッキード機を日本でライセンス生産していた。

こちらも日本がライセンス生産したアメリカの戦闘機、F86F。朝鮮戦争を思い出す人もいるかもしれない。
日本初の国産超音速機であるジェット訓練機、T-2。
