Thanks for taking the time to write all the wonderful articles on this blog. A happy new year to you as well and I look forward to seeing everything 2014 will bring from Arawasi!

Thank you George; the best of the new year to you and yours.
I had no idea we had lost Luca; as you say, he will be missed.

This new year will bring us the centennial of the Great War. It is little remembered in the US that Japan was an ally in that war. I hope that you may find and present some obscure information on the first use of Japanese aircraft in combat, during that war.

Thank you George and your Team!
For all the interesting photos and background information. It is just a few month ago, that I got to know you and your team. The year 2014 will bring for the modeller in Europe the interesting Japan exhibition in March in Vienna. See at the blog the GoMo 2014.
It will bring also the chance of new contacts. I have some in mind, and some important people of aviation do not have much knowledge of anything what happened in aviation history in Japan. Here I see a big unlimitted chance for the
future.

I wish in 2014 and the following years the blog will be as lively and informative as it was in 2013 and the previous years!!!

Keep up the great work, George! this blog is a great help to us modelers of Japanese aircraft. Beyond that though the background information, stories, and photos are a delight.
