SONS OF NIPPON-GO
The "Nippon-Go” Exhibition also has photos of planes that used to belong to the aviation department of Mainichi Newspapers. This is a Mitsubishi MU-2B turboprop named "New Nippon", a son of Nippon-Go that inherits genes of the Mitsubishi planes.
This Piper was named "Gyosei (Dawn Star)". Coincidentally, it has the same name as the fictional newspaper company based on The Mainichi Newspaper in "Tsubasa wo kudasai~Freedom in the Sky"—Maha Harada's novel based on the Nippon-Go history.
このパイパーの名前は「暁星」。偶然にも「ニッポン号」をテーマにした原田マハさんの小説「翼をください~Freedom in the sky」に登場する、毎日新聞社をモデルにした架空の新聞社と同じ名前。
