Fuji KM-2

The Fuji KM-2 is a Japanese propeller-driven light aircraft developed by Fuji Heavy Industries from the Beechcraft T-34 Mentor that Fuji built under licence, and various versions have served as primary trainers with the Japan Self-Defense Forces. The KM was a four-seat civil version of the LM-1 with the Lycoming engine later used on the LM-2, and the KM-2 that followed was a side-by-side two-seat trainer that first flew on 16 January 1962. The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force bought sixty-two as primary trainers and the Ground Self-Defense Force bought two as the TL-1, and its tandem-cockpit development, the KM-2B, became the Fuji T-3.
