A Yak-38 is lifted up to the deck on an elevator. It comes to a halt.
(OFF - SPEAKER):“Hey, Katsuragi.”
UrsusArctos: Even over the radio, Kaji should be inaudible with the noise of the engines operating. The choice of a Yak-38 is unusual, because that plane was, well...a piece of junk. Anno and company should've chosen a Yak-41 "Freestyle", it's a lot cooler and it has a stylishness Kaji would appreciate. ;;>
Alaska Slim: Given the "widowmaker" notoriety of the Yak-38 and that its engines suffered in the hot, humid environment of the ocean (and we know it's hot because, Endless Summer and all), I would think Kaji would be safer riding the bow of one of the ships with a sign saying "bite me".
