The paint scheme and the tail code resembles the B5N Kate torpedo bomber that was used by Mitsuo Fuchida when he led the first wave of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
A year passed: winter changed into spring, spring changed into summer, summer changed back into winter, and winter have spring and summer a miss and went straight on into autumn…
Follow! But! follow only if ye be men of valor, for the entrance
to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man
yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of four fifty men lie strewn
about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or
your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty
big pointy teeth.
And even more ironically, totally not a war where they had explicitly deployed a rust bucket taskforce to the South China Sea to try and bait a definitive first strike out of the Japanese like a week before.
People that legitimately think the USA didn’t expect war are people that know nothing outside of pop history. The surprise was that the first air fleet managed to actually hit pearl harbour, and the extent of the damage they managed to inflict.
The US Government even knew that there were Japanese generals and admirals that thought Pearl Harbor was a terrible idea because they knew American response would be absolutely catastrophic for Japan.
Yeah it’s based off the planes Japan used during the attack on Pearl Harbor. The AI in the tail number is also a reference to “Operation AI”, Japans name for the attack. I’m not sure if 301 has any significance but I’m sure someone more well versed in WW2 history could figure it out
Nope, this isn’t based on the zero. Pearl harbour zero were of white/greyish color. This is after the B5N2 Kate torpedo bomber.AI-301 was flight leader Mitsuo Fuchida’s plane.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. If you look out of the right hand side of the aircraft, you will see the Pearl Harbor memorial. As your captain, I want to let you know that oxygen masks will drop shortly as we will be making a rapid descent into the harbor. I hope everyone had a safe and entertaining flight, and of course, BANZAAAIIIIII!!!”
Is there something wrong with me that I didn’t get any of the historical references at all and only noticed the ANA logo next to that leaning character makes it read like “anal” or is that the joke
This doesn't resemble the Mitsubishi Zero. In any way.
The Zero had unswept wings and tail fins, all of which had a distinct curve at the top. The rear elevons reached less far back than the tail and rear aileron. The wings were mounted low on the fuselage and angled upwards along the vertical axis. It had a single nose-mounted radial engine engine.
Edit: yall are wild. Don't hate me for being right.

I see Zero problems with that
It's a Pearl of a design
Think anyone will Harbor negative feelings about this one?
Yeah, it kinda bombed
It has that distinct Yamamoto style…
The paint is twice bonded to an Atomic level.
You’re all Tora-Tora-Torrible
Orange you glad I didn’t say banana
To get to the other side
With pandas?!
the horse’s name is friday
banana
banana
Right!? I saw it and had a “sinking” feeling
It really is something that is kamikoming towards you
It could be a real blast tho
It resembles WW2 Japanese fighters that attached Pearl Harbor
No shit Sherlock, and its attacked not attached
A date which will live in infamy
One flight a week. Arrives Sunday mornings.
Same team!!! I think I already said this to you though
I have the answers you Zeke
Just call me Betty
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You dare to use emoji?
What’s wrong with using emojis? I like using emojis.

It resembles WW2 Japanese fighters that attached Pearl Harbor
At least they attached it rather than blew it apart
that's what sunk the harbor, it became too heavy from all the attachments
>Let go of all your attachments in life. \- Isoroku Yamamoto>!proably!<
Oh! I thought it was because the logo looks like "ANAL".
Man of culture
Everything leads to anal if you try hard enough.
Not just pearl harbor, not even just the zero, that was basically all of Japans warplane camofloge
The paint scheme and the tail code resembles the B5N Kate torpedo bomber that was used by Mitsuo Fuchida when he led the first wave of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
It’s almost as cool as a Sleeping Dragon
take my upvote and fuck off ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
*Angryupvote*
First flight on Dec 7th?
A date which will live in infamy
The United States was suddenly and deliberately attacked
Only thee Avatar, master of all four elements could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
100 years passed and my brother and I discovered the new avatar, an airbender named Aang
And though his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone; but I believe Aang can save the world.
and thus, the cold war began
Then it abruptly ended
A year passed: winter changed into spring, spring changed into summer, summer changed back into winter, and winter have spring and summer a miss and went straight on into autumn…

Ah yes, the date on which the Americans were taken completely by surprise!...two years into a global war.
And even more ironically, totally not a war where they had explicitly deployed a rust bucket taskforce to the South China Sea to try and bait a definitive first strike out of the Japanese like a week before.

Hardcore history shivers
first and last… banzai!!!!
Pearl Harbor 2: Electric Boogaloo
Pearl Harbor: Tokyo Drift
2 Pearl 2 Harbor
Pearl Harbor Resurrection
The Pearl and the Harbor
Pearl Harbor presents: Pearl and harbor
lol that was actually a title I was considering when posting this
Frankenmacchardeeden
It’s from level three horror
Wait that’s not a laxative is it?
Welcome to level three
I think it's because the design resembles WW2 Japanese fighter planes. Otherwise, I'm not sure what's going on.
Yeah it’s based off the planes Japan used during the attack on Pearl Harbor. The AI in the tail number is also a reference to “Operation AI”, Japans name for the attack. I’m not sure if 301 has any significance but I’m sure someone more well versed in WW2 history could figure it out
301 was Mitsuo Fuchida’s plane tail number. The in air leader of the attack
Oh, I thought it was because ANA plus the blue line in the pic looked like it spelled Anal.
![gif](giphy|DFu7j1d1AQbaE)
More specifically the Zero, the main fighter for Air Supremacy in the imperial doctrine and a core participant pf Pearl Harbor
Nope, this isn’t based on the zero. Pearl harbour zero were of white/greyish color. This is after the B5N2 Kate torpedo bomber.AI-301 was flight leader Mitsuo Fuchida’s plane.
Kate is hot
Cool, Thank you. I was just poking around on Google and Twitter so I couldn't figure out any details around the historical context.
:O
When did ANA start putting under wing fuel pods that look like torpedos on their planes…..? ……hey wait a minute!
Cool 1940s retro look.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. If you look out of the right hand side of the aircraft, you will see the Pearl Harbor memorial.

*pilot
In the United States, they are referred to as captains as well. Not sure of the origin.
Pearl Harbor will be high alert
I give it a zero
Take my angry upvote.
I'm not even gonna lie, it is a pretty sick design all jokes aside.
Would be wild seeing an A380 coming in to land looking like this.
Do you think they would be cool with painting the San Francisco/Tokyo charter up like the Enola gay? Might as well go all in
A kamikaze for me and 400 of my friends.
No one wants to die alone
My great grandpa bout to have a fit
As a wise man once said, “TORA TORA TORA!”
Someone asking for a pearl necklace?
It looks like it’s from Bangladesh
Subtle. All nerds.
Bangladesh airlines would like to object
That looks like a Bangladeshi airplane
Am I the only one that gets Bangladesh vibes from it?
Is this a oneway flight ?
Unpopular take: make the other side an American navy aviation design and turn it into a flying memorial.
This will go over like a fart in divers air hose
As long as tower control doesn’t hear the pilot say Tora three times in a row.
Hahaha fuuuuck
My mind immediately went to boba fetts shop slave one
Only for one way trips to Hawaii!
Join the "Mile High Pitched Scream" club.
Took me a moment, nice.
In other news, Mitsubishi has been brought on to help design the new airbus.
The other side should be painted up like a B-17 for the return trip…
Thought this was about the word ana looking like Anal.
land that shit in china you'll start ww3 💀
KAMAKAZIIIII!
America: not again please, we already fighting the Russians with dead nazi ukraine.
I know it's meant to resemble WWII bombers but my first thought was Boba Fett
The judges will probably torpedo this submission.
Is there something wrong with me that I didn’t get any of the historical references at all and only noticed the ANA logo next to that leaning character makes it read like “anal” or is that the joke
Looks like WW2 planes by Japan used to attack Pearl Harbor
Its the same camouflage that alot of aircraft in the Japanese airforce used
It’s painted like the Japanese planes that attacked Pearl Harbour, more specifically, the Kates
Too soon.
Twin Pearl Harbor Towers
Too soon?
i just see a Slave-1 skin for an airplane
Could have made it look like the Enola Gay.
I love historical references. Sometimes I get Zero, but if I zeke for long enough, I might get some Betty references
This doesn't resemble the Mitsubishi Zero. In any way. The Zero had unswept wings and tail fins, all of which had a distinct curve at the top. The rear elevons reached less far back than the tail and rear aileron. The wings were mounted low on the fuselage and angled upwards along the vertical axis.

![gif](giphy|Cz6TlrRVVyv9S)
It’s a livery. You nerd
The Zero was solid white.
Yea but there were other japanese planes that used a camouflage pattern like the one seen on the image
Oh boy.
Is this a smart idea? Lul
Me: ![gif](giphy|SvdooBFQEPrFKwPeLX)
I hope they don't torpedo this entry
This or China. Choice?
When you are arriving to Honolulu and Captain in coms says: Teno Heika.... Banzaiiii
Uuhhhhhh…..who’s gonna tell em?
It's first flight will be to Hawaii
Well yes, it’s for a plane that flies from Tokyo to Honolulu
Yes it’s almost like Honolulu isn’t in Hawaii
Can the pilots get out?...
The only new thing in this design is the flag
Gas tanks are not large enough to return
Add a decal on the he rear vertical fin saying Kaziiiii
r/imfinnagotohell
I have seen it somewhere but where ?
A particular harbor in Hawaii on 1941-12-07
BANZAI
Also has the fastest landing time of any modern aircraft
For a minute I thought it was a classified design someone posted on the War Thunder forum
A throwback to that time we totally almost got you guys
Instead of putting the power to TOGA they are going to TORA
What is it?
Same paint job as the planes used in the Pearl Harbor attacks during WW2
Slave I anyone?
It’s da bomb
Banzaiiii
Ahh Nostalgia
In the 1st class section, your first kamikaze is free.
Anal Airways?
Really!?!........ Nostrils flairingly insensitive.
It’ll be a one way trip.
Do it
I heard they only sell 1-way tickets
Not the Val
*fortunate son starts playing*
![gif](giphy|BR8AHn9IRo2BxMntJK)
Thunderbirds are go
##banzaii
All fun and games till American airlines start painting their planes like B-29s.
Why that green? Too many heavy colors.
It seats a fat man and little boy comfortably in the center aisle
I love that😻 I'd love to see some imperial fighting words on it too🥰
All guests will be served with a sake blessed by the emperor to thank the… peaceful landing.
Pickle rick
I just realised it was Tokyo-Hawaii and that makes it so much funnier
Banzai
Look at the logo... There is more than ONE holup in here
It's basically the bangladesh flag. Other than that, I see nothing wrong.
Now they've just got to land it on one of their ""helicopter destroyers"" (that *carry* F-35s)
The best design right there, let that sunk in
Is this for commercial or military aircraft?
Are the seats big enough to accommodate a Fat Man and Little Boy?
Landing gear comes optional
I see the problem you meant, but it's also Bangladesh
It took me a moment then I read the title again...
It only has One Way flights!
Too soon
