Obviously the Japanese attacked Cherokee territory :lol:

Maybe they were using the arrows to determine bullet trajectory?

I concur with Zane...definitely Comanche.

Seriously, in the second photo it would almost appear as though the fellows are mixing cement. Is the machine being set up as some kind of memorial?

I used the Google translation tools and nothing of interest came under the pictures information.

Any dummy can see that it has tangled with an Apache helicopter!

And Comanche were widely respected as the best horsemen on the plains. Therefore...


...wait for it...




...she clearly tangled with a Mustang.



You're welcome...no trouble at all.

Looks like a patriotic display being installed in a park? Maybe with the arrows to show how the plane survived a vicious attack by our fighters? Kind of like a CSI type deal showing the bullet paths. Notice the light pole in the one picture, I don't think she parallel parked while landing! :lol:

Still a strange pic - they thought that was a lot of battle damage? At least it didn't blow up....
