12 OH-6D.
Former JGSDF.

A company in Toyama Prefecture recently bought 12 JGSDF retired OH-6D.
The company did not comply with the agreement, and did not disassemble or scrap the helicopters, before it sold them to companies in Australia, New Zealand, others.
IFF, radio, and weapons were removed from the helicopters, so the sales did not break the laws against exporting weapons.

Q-5.
Shen Yang AF, PLAAF.

About 10:30 AM, during training, crashed, at a corn farm, at Lian Hua Village, Fu Zhou Cheng Town, Wa Fang Dian City, near Da Lian City, Liao Ning Province.

Pilot didn’t eject, and martyred.

Based on condition of wreck and witnesses’ claims, it flew comparatively slow before it dived into the field, where it caught fire, but didn’t explode.

On 25 October 2012, Hong Du had a ceremony when it delivered its final Q-5, after which Q-5 production line discontinued.

First, no offense perceived.

Second, this thread archives the e-mails I contributed to the Attrition / Accident Reports article of AFM, and similar military aviation mags and Websites, such as Websites dedicated to the types of aircraft that the SDF operates: F-4, F-15, &c.

Aviation fans hindered by the language barrier, may still want to know what’s going on over there in Japan.
