This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

The location in the video is a man made island in Tokyo Bay. It sat next to a maritime museum. I saw the plane there in the Spring of 2005. I believe it was subsequently moved to a military facility and is now off view to the general public. I'm not certain that the date in the video corresponds to the time of the disassembly and removal, rather the posting of the vid. But I could be wrong.

Looks like the #1 engine is a mockup? I remember it was missing an engine while it was cocooned in the USA.

StangStang,
You are right. At the beginning of the video there's a photo of a sign put up by the construction company & it's dated 2004.
