“Japan's home-built scout helicopter.”

A scout helicopter Japan built to replace the OH-6 Cayuse, deployed only by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force. Tandem cockpit, low-profile fuselage, twin Mitsubishi turbines. Almost never seen outside Japanese airspace — if you tagged one, you're very lucky or you're in Japan.

Fun fact

The OH-1 is the only military helicopter ever designed and built entirely in Japan since World War II.

One might be overhead right now.
