Some U.S. newspapers own aircraft, but none has so many or uses them so regularly in news gathering as the largest Japanese dailies. Yomiuri's Hara has a point when he needles the major use of company planes by U.S. publishers. "We never fly executives—only reporters and photographers," he says.
* Asahi has nine aircraft, Yomiuri eight, Mainichi seven, Chunichi five, Sankei two.
