Stupid question- did the Saburo Sakai ever flew on it? Not operationally, just try or test?

Why should Saburo Sakai fly the Raiden? It was Japanese AAF type and Sakai was Japanese Navy pilot! Final answer must be in his biography (which I don't have).

Excellent, Tweety! Nice choice; nice kit and nice work!

N°1, I think that Saburo Sakay flew on Zeron A6M5...

Nice work so far, Tweety.  S. Sakai wrote of the N1K series, which he did fly, as handling like a truck, Nico, compared to A6Ms he always preferred most.  I believe he also claimed to have test flown an A7M prototype at least once.  If he did so, I would presume he had clearance to fly whatever he liked.  I would guess he flew a J2M at least once.  Whether he did so in combat, I cannot now remember.
