The Last Days of NAMC YS-11 Turboprop Airliner

YS-11 is a turbo prop aircraft designed and manufactured by NAMC(Nihon Aircraft Manufacturing Company), which was the first commercial passenger aircraft developed in Japan after WW2. The YS-11 were built on 1962 - 1973, and some of them had been used for 30 or 40 years until around 2000s, because of their robustness and reliability. The last (commercial) operator of YS-11 in Japan was JAC(Japan Air Commuter), they were used until 2006. A few of them are still used in JASDF(Japan Air Self-Defense Force) for the special purpose.

I love the YS-11. The sound of this Rolls Royce is the best! !!
When I first got on the YS-11, I had a different enjoyment than a jet plane.
Since it flies at a lower altitude than a jet plane, it was fun to see the scenery from the plane window and the movement of Provera.

ダッシュ8やATRなんかよりずっと良いロールスロイスダートエンジンのサウンドが堪らない。スピードはけして速くはなかったけど松本空港から伊丹空港までの70分の飛行時間は最高でした。僕は二回目乗りましたから人生最大の思い出です。

In Brasil they flew for Cruzeiro an VASP, the nickname of the aircraft in Brasil was “Samurai”

[@joaopedrodiniz1524]

It was also called "Dog Killer (Mata Cachorro) because of the high-pitched noise of the engines.

The Saab 2000 would have been a great replacement for this aircraft if only they didn’t go broke.
