When I read of veteran pilots of all nations reunited with their former aircraft, bringing vivid memories, it sends chills up my spine to hear their stories!👍
did anyone else get chills to hear this honerable man talk so fondly of this plne makes me as an aviator envious and thankfull of places like these who restore aircraft to flying condition to preserve the memory of every man who fought in the skies in ww2
He is hero. He fought for his country just as my grandfather did in the Marines in the Battle Of Guam and Iwo Jima. The only thing that counts now is we are ALLIES. We can learn from our mistakes and hope we can as friend's go forward.
He was still sound of mind and walking like someone decades younger than him (he did not need support) - was on his 100th year (only a few months away from turning full 100) when he passed away suddenly in 2016 : (
Still has that confident walk, even at the age of 97. He is a legend.
I don't care how old he is - he walks like a fighter pilot - he has the look, the true look. He has been there! What a great moment!!!!!
How excited this man is to see a Zero again, absolutely wonderful :D
When he walked to aircraft and gave a salute..almost made me cry!!!!Huge respect for both pilot and this beautyfull aircraft!!
RIP Kaname san, may you fly on heavenly wings with your friends and family

what an extraordinary moment!! GOD BLESS THIS GENTLEMAN, SO GLAD THE USA AND JAPAN ARE GREAT ALLIES NOW!!
Wow this is amazing too see! The respect he gave to the zero is very honourable.
A great warrior who now promotes peace. What a GREAT man, a true hero!
Sadly, he died 3rd May 2016, but he lived a long life passing at 99 years!
Thank you for translating this. It's great to hear the stories from ww2 vets on the other side of the war.

A warrior who fought for his brothers and country. 👍
He was a young man in 1941 impressive for a fighting adventure...

It's good to hear their personal experience coming from the pilots themselves with the Zero and how important peace over war. Banzai!
この御仁は凄い人だよ。
No one should "hate" the Zero pilots. They were serving their country, just as all the other pilots from every country were doing.
