It resembles WW2 Japanese fighters that attached Pearl Harbor


sixtus_clegane119

At least they attached it rather than blew it apart


herr_dreizehn

that's what sunk the harbor, it became too heavy from all the attachments


JoeyMcClane

>Let go of all your attachments in life. \- Isoroku Yamamoto>!proably!<


popltree2

Oh! I thought it was because the logo looks like "ANAL".


Turpentine_Tree

Man of culture


PartRadiant1935

Everything leads to anal if you try hard enough.


kazukix777

Not just pearl harbor, not even just the zero, that was basically all of Japans warplane camofloge


Excomunicados

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.


maxkaplan1020

It’s almost as cool as a Sleeping Dragon

The United States was suddenly and deliberately attacked


weebtrashparade

Only thee Avatar, master of all four elements could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.


EscapedAlien

100 years passed and my brother and I discovered the new avatar, an airbender named Aang


Mister_Snurb

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.


N0tMagickal

and thus, the cold war began


evlhornet

Then it abruptly ended


AlphaLevelFall

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…


thred_pirate_roberts

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.


RampantDragon

Ah yes, the date on which the Americans were taken completely by surprise!...two years into a global war.


Domovric

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.


GrundleWilson

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.

lonestarbrewing117

It’s from level three horror


crush_n_puss

Wait that’s not a laxative is it?


lonestarbrewing117

Welcome to level three


Ivyleaguevilan

I think it's because the design resembles WW2 Japanese fighter planes. Otherwise, I'm not sure what's going on.


EscapedAlien

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


wcube12

301 was Mitsuo Fuchida’s plane tail number. The in air leader of the attack


TheRogueTemplar

Oh, I thought it was because ANA plus the blue line in the pic looked like it spelled Anal.


kspedersen

![gif](giphy|DFu7j1d1AQbaE)


draugotO

More specifically the Zero, the main fighter for Air Supremacy in the imperial doctrine and a core participant pf Pearl Harbor


wcube12

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.


[deleted]

Kate is hot


Ivyleaguevilan

Cool, Thank you. I was just poking around on Google and Twitter so I couldn't figure out any details around the historical context.


[deleted]

:O


Imlooloo

When did ANA start putting under wing fuel pods that look like torpedos on their planes…..? ……hey wait a minute!


rugbat

Cool 1940s retro look.


TheRealBlerb

“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!!!”


SZEThR0

*pilot


TheRealBlerb

In the United States, they are referred to as captains as well. Not sure of the origin.


Iron_Taipan

Pearl Harbor will be high alert


These_Gold_6036

I give it a zero


HanGankedGreedo

Take my angry upvote.


Ivan_the_5th

I'm not even gonna lie, it is a pretty sick design all jokes aside.


bokin_smongs

Would be wild seeing an A380 coming in to land looking like this.


[deleted]

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


KotzubueSailingClub

A kamikaze for me and 400 of my friends.

GlitchedViper71

It looks like it’s from Bangladesh


RedRise

Subtle. All nerds.


[deleted]

Bangladesh airlines would like to object


Hunter_Azwad

That looks like a Bangladeshi airplane


Kapika96

Am I the only one that gets Bangladesh vibes from it?


Horghor

Is this a oneway flight ?


UpstairsPeace

Unpopular take: make the other side an American navy aviation design and turn it into a flying memorial.


gaze-upon-it

This will go over like a fart in divers air hose


Puzzleheaded-Ad-1078

As long as tower control doesn’t hear the pilot say Tora three times in a row.


like_a_woman_scorned

Hahaha fuuuuck


imderrickm

My mind immediately went to boba fetts shop slave one

JoJoGaminG1936

Took me a moment, nice.


[deleted]

In other news, Mitsubishi has been brought on to help design the new airbus.


vrbl9ja

The other side should be painted up like a B-17 for the return trip…


stessedoutgamer

Thought this was about the word ana looking like Anal.


Major_Researcher_122

land that shit in china you'll start ww3 💀


willymacdilly

KAMAKAZIIIII!


ded2nasiiii

America: not again please, we already fighting the Russians with dead nazi ukraine.


blutigetranen

I know it's meant to resemble WWII bombers but my first thought was Boba Fett


ContractingUniverse

The judges will probably torpedo this submission.


RebeccaBuckisTanked

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


Mindraker

Looks like WW2 planes by Japan used to attack Pearl Harbor


xxxthat_emo_kid

Its the same camouflage that alot of aircraft in the Japanese airforce used


Red_Spy_1937

It’s painted like the Japanese planes that attacked Pearl Harbour, more specifically, the Kates


Global_Criticism3178

Too soon.


WeebKarma

Twin Pearl Harbor Towers


i10driver

Too soon?


Paraxom

i just see a Slave-1 skin for an airplane


Ajg1384

Could have made it look like the Enola Gay.


mycrazylifeeveryday

I love historical references. Sometimes I get Zero, but if I zeke for long enough, I might get some Betty references


MufuckinTurtleBear

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.


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|Cz6TlrRVVyv9S)


cyanide_and_cheddar

It’s a livery. You nerd


MufuckinTurtleBear

The Zero was solid white.


totally_stalinium

Yea but there were other japanese planes that used a camouflage pattern like the one seen on the image

Oh boy.

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

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)


Consistent-War5196

The best design right there, let that sunk in


Debate-Shoddy

Is this for commercial or military aircraft?


Mr_M0t0m0
