Planes of Fame Air Museum - Yokosuka D4Y1 Suisei "Judy"

            Planes of Fame Air Museum's very rare Yokosuka D4Y1 Suisei "Judy" dive bomber, c/n 7483 on static display during the December 2914 Living History Event at Planes of Fame Air Museum, Chino, California.

Recovered by Bruce Fenstermaker in 1991 from Babo Airfield in western New Guinea originally for the Santa Monica Museum of Flying.  Later it was purchased by the Planes of Fame Air Museum, and was displayed unrestored at their satellite facility in Valle, Arizona.  In March of 2009 the aircraft was brought to Chino, California to begin restoration to static display condition. Its was completed in early 2013 and is taxiable.

The lack of an original 1,200 hp twelve cylinder inverted vee Atsuta engine has necessitated the decision to complete the aircraft as a radial engineed D4Y3 version. A Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp is used for power.

Only one other Judy survives and is on display at the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, Japan.
