A theme park in Ibaraki Prefecture allowed the public to witness the reassembly of the YS-11, Japan's first mass-produced postwar passenger plane, for free on Saturday before it goes on full display next spring.
The exhibition is being organized three months after the propeller plane's parts were taken out and dusted off after spending around 20 years in a hangar at Tokyo International Airport, known locally as Haneda.
The reassembly process will be shown at The Hirosawa City theme park in Ibaraki Prefecture until July 26. The very first YS-11 ever made is expected to go on display in complete form next year.
