Pyroflash Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) Very beautiful. きれい P.S. Any info on where I can go to find a schedule for the Blue Impulse? I always wanted to go see them. IMO one of the best, if not THE best aerobatic teams around. Edited September 19, 2012 by Pyroflash If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.

Pyroflash Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 :) I think we should buy a bunch of T-4's to replace our T-38C's. No idea why that aircraft isn't on the list for the competition.

topol-m Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Yep. That's Kawasaki XP-1 (now P-1) launching maverick. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Interesting. I never thought of a Maverick being an anti-submarine weapon. I wonder how it it's launched...visually, or through radar? I didn't even know the JASDF even had Maverick's in their inventory. I picked up an F-2 edition of "Military Aircraft of JASDF" when I was in Tokyo last year and the magazine doesn't mention it...if they have them in inventory I'm surprised if the F-2 can't use them, since it is supposed to be the JASDF's main support fighter.

It's obviously not an anti-submarine weapon :) I guess the idea behind these test firings is that it could be used to attack small ships. It is probably guided through the flir mounted under the nose. That's the only photo of a P-1 with a mounted flir (or a sensor that looks like it) that I've seen.
