Good morning, everyone.

A color photo of the actual Type 4 Fighter "Hayate." Perhaps because it was shortly after being captured by the U.S. postwar, it was still in a flyable condition at the time. The photo is believed to have been taken around 1973 at the International Aerospace Show held at Iruma Air Base. (*・∀・)ゞ #疾風 #四式戦闘機
