stol for a plane that size is an understatement!! real impressive plane but the chop was a little high..looked real close with some water getting into the #1 engine
Wow, outstanding short take off and landing capabilities for such a large amphibious aircraft operating on rough seas! Is the Shin Meiwa PS-1 powered by Allison turbo props similar to those used on the Lockheed C-130 and P-3 Orion?
thats amazing, fuckin smart ass japanese, i love how thier so "sub warfare" oriented......and the fact that thing can land in water than rough is just ridiculous...must be hell on those turbo-props

Not a particularly attractive airplane... UNTIL YOU SEE IT FLY! Soooo graceful in those super slow landings. Like a crane swooping down on the water.
