When my P-3 squadron deployed to Misawa in the '80s, we would see and marvel at them occasionally (Misawa was a JASDF fighter base). Excellent video, and thank you for igniting many fond memories!
Worked with ShinMaywa back in the 90's and saw the 1st aircraft of the new version being assembled in their factory in Kobe. Quite a sight----not sure how many have been constructed for the Japanese Self Defense Force by 2014.
Love to see ShinMaywa build a version for wildland fire control that could drop water and fire retardant, with the ability to scoop water at touch-and-go speed. With its high cargo capacity, low speed maneuverability, long range, and STOL capabilities it certainly would give the Bombardier 415 a run for the title of best amphibian fire aircraft.
A beautiful older design that is so well balanced that the floaters never really touched the water......I was surprised to see that all 4 propellers were rotating counterclock wise ( I was expecting counter rotation of pairs)
What a strong looking amphibian air craft. Wish the take off was included in this video along with a walk thru tour of the interior, technical and performance data...... Congradulations for creating such a capable aircraft....
The Japanese air industry has a long history of successful flying boats and floatplanes. Just remembre the H8K Emily and the Rufe, the floatplane version of the Zero. The Sun Meiwa is a beautiful airplane. It's a pity we do not see many seaborne planes nowadays!
What a magnificent airplane. The US-1, and US-2 are two of my favorites of all time. Fantastic STOL performance for such a large machine. I regret they are not in passenger service. I would have liked to have seen them in ‘Chalks Ocean Airways’ service.
what do they start the first engine on air or electric? once the first one is turning do they use the bleed air from it to start the other three? a very sharp looking aircraft. not to may of these craft in the world nowadays. (USA)
Jerry Doolittle: I wouldn't call her "beautiful."..compared to the US/UK and German flying boats or the Japanese Kawanishi H6K4(MAVIS and Kawanishi H8K2(EMILY)
It’s not hard to see this is another Japanese conversion. This one is a P-5 Marlin with a modified power plant. 4 Turbojets instead of two radials. They also replaced the flotation gear and made it self launching. They must have pulled this one out of mothballs because they were decommissioned around 1968. The US Navy was working on various modifications right up to the time they sent the last one to the Smithsonian. But I never saw this one. We had a mix of P5’s and P2’s in my squadron VP-31 at North Island in the 60’s The previous Japanese modification to one of the US obsolete aircraft was a P-2 similarly modified. I think they called it a P2VJ
@@davidmurphy8190 Yes, I was envious of this version. Ours were loud and ear shattering on climb out. I imagine these to be a much more pleasant ride. Once in training our pilot proved to a student that the jets thrust was enough to takeoff without the recips. We were at San Clemente Island near Catalina. It took a good portion of the runway but we got off safely. It was the quietest ride we ever had. Smooth And effortless. I know he broke NATOPS’s procedures but the recips were idle online but feathered just in case. I wished we could fly that way all the time. We did have a two engine failure over the ocean once and had to return with heat power. Again, very quiet ride. I would like to have seen what they did inside if anything.
This aircraft (the US-1A) is a search and rescue (SAR) aircraft for the Japanese Maritime Self Defence Force (AKA the Japanese navy) but you wanted a story so here goes... The rough translation of the video title mentions that this is a test flight and this video was posted in February of 2014 and apparently there were only three US-1A's left flying at that time (they were designed in the 1960s and entered service in the early 1970s). The good news for fans of the plane however is that due to it's specific capabilities and also a smaller budget, the Japanese opted to replace it with an updated version, the US-2, rather than an entirely new design. So perhaps the test flight mentioned in the title means that this was one of the planes being used to test upgrades for the new US-2. Another story... this particular aircraft (number 89) took part in an air show in May of 2014, there's a video here where you can watch it landing and taxi-ing on a conventional runway ruclips.net/video/CcrTr4zUo7o/видео.html
This is the most expensive plane in the world, only 5 or 6 were ordered and the costs of engineering and tooling/jigging tools for making them is the same if they built 100 of them.
@@chalogonzales8985 expensive because producing only a bunch. Only needed 6 units for SAR missions. How to lowered the price is to produce them many, but no buyers here.
This is the first time I have seen a flying boat with a "T" tail. That is a great idea. Somebody should have thought of it earlier. Like putting one on a Catalina. This plane kinda looks like a skinny Catalina in the fuselage, though. Looks better than a Catalina. I was reading down a bit, why did you call this a test flight? A test float more likely, I didn't see it leave the bottom of the gravity well once. It never left the surface, never actually flew. Not a test flight unless it flies. IMHO

Would be a welcome sight to one in trouble at sea .

話題の割に思ったより機数が少ないんだよねえ
それでこの信頼性を維持するって凄い事だと思う
I wasn’t aware that Japan still operated flying boats. Beautiful aircraft!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
China and India both have a fleet of Sea Planes too. Both equally as impressive.
Actually, it's not a flying boat, it's an amphibian.
These are the older ones too! have a look at some of the newer US-2 versions from Shinmaywa. It's even cooler.
Thankes god pr jose plp
That's a ShinMaywa US-2 STOL I think. Nice. Thanks for the video. Cheers
A nice little fishing dingy for the lake on Saturdays. Can't believe you missed the T.O.
Right cool. Maybe please film from cockpit going down the ramp and a training flight?
貴重な映像のアップありがとうございます。地元ですが一度も飛行艇が飛び立つところを見たことがありません。フライトを前もってつかむ方法は無いものでしょうか？もしお教えいただけるなら幸いです。

I had the privilege of working with Shin Maywa back in the late 90's and this aircraft was in a very slow production rate then as the US-1.
Este hidroavião seria de grande utilidade na região Amazonica brasileira.
Not just one, but tow or more cameras! For a great design and an inspired paint job!
Snagaokatodoroki, Great video thank you from New Zealand
This plane certainly did not leave the water in flight, but it landed on the water after it had left the land through a land airport.
The US Navy hasn't done this since the late 50's or early 60's!
Love it !!! great aircraft ! someone needs to continue making seacraft.
Very nice plane that is a good thecnology of japan i like it

MUCH ADMIRATION AND RESPECT TO THE JAPANESE OF TODAY, ..." WELL DONE JAPAN "
Isn't this just an updated (engines) P5M Marlin? My dad flew them for the navy in the 50s based in the Philippines
I thought big seaplanes were a thing of the past. However I am sure that the People who built it have a good reasons for doing so
Michael Brant I believe this aircraft is of Japanese origin, not Chinese 😌
a marine reconnaissance plane that can actually land anywhere, yeah how useful could that be?

The Japanese-built NEPTUNE was the P-2J. It was a damn well designed and highly modified NEPTUNE.

why arent all boats built to float

This plane "retired" in 2017; you guys are not updated.
Replaced with ShinMaywa US-2, or US-2; there's two on this page listings.
When was "Meiwa" changed to "Maywa"? Looks incredibly modern, despite being an over-fifty-year-old design!

It's a beautiful plane. But it would have Bern nice to watch it land and take off.
