This aircraft was on display in a San Diego, CA. playground for many years. In 1959 it was transferred to the USAF Museum. It underwent an in depth restoration from 2000 through 2008, and is now on display in the WW2 Gallery. This slide was taken in the outdoor aircraft display area at the original museum on Patterson AFB.

Japanese Navy 'George' fighter preserved in the Dulles Museum.

The N1K2-J Shiden Kai was a high performance land based interceptor version introduced in December 1944. This aircraft wears the code of the elite 343 Kokutai of the Japanese Navy.

About 1,500 of various George models were produced. In combat over Taiwan, the Philippines, Okinawa, and the Japanese home islands, Shiden pilots acquitted themselves well but this excellent fighter appeared too late and in too few numbers to have any effect on Japan's fortunes in the air war. This example on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center is one of only four still extant and wears the colours and markings of the 343rd Kokutai based at Omura in 1945.

This George is on display at the National Museum of the USAF and is one of only three extant restored examples. It is a fighter-bomber variant equipped with wing mounts to carry bombs and is painted as an aircraft in the Yokosuka Kokutai, an evaluation and test unit similar in function to the USAAF's Flight Test Unit at Wright Field.

Now on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum this combat veteran George (evidenced by a bullet hole in the starboard wing) was delivered in early 1945 and tasked with defending the areas around Hiroshima. It is the most complete and authentic example of the type extant of over 400 produced during WWII.
