On display at Gifu-Kakamigahara Air and Space Museum. This Starfighter was flown by 201st Hikotai, which was established for training F-104J pilots. The unit changed to a fighter/interceptor role on the F-104J from 1964 till disbandment in 1974. The aircraft ended its service with the Air Proving Wing, which was formed in Apr 1974.

On display at Gifu-Kakamigahara Air and Space Museum. This tandem trainer with "Ōyodo" painted on the fuselage was first flown on 11 Feb 1954 and is one of two built. It was a competitor to the Beech Model 45 Mentor as a primary trainer for the JASDF, though it was not selected. The aircraft was powered by a 260 hp Lycoming GO-435-C2B engine driving a two-bladed Hartzell propeller.

Only extant Ki-61-II Kai on display at Gifu-Kakamigahara Air and Space Museum. This aircraft was formerly on display in the Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots at Chiran, Kyushu. Previously painted to represent a Hien (Flying Swallow) from the famous 244th Hiko-Sentai led by Maj. Teruhiko Kobayashi based at Chōfu airfield that downed B-29s, it is now in bare metal finish. The engine attachment bolt holes, supercharger air intake, landing light, oil cooler and radiator can be seen. Transfer of the Hien to Kakamigahara has significance as the sleek fighter was mass produced here during the war.

On display at Gifu-Kakamigahara Air and Space Museum. The T-2 was influenced by the design of the SEPECAT Jaguar, as can be seen from this rear view. It was also powered by two Adour turbofans, licence built by Ishikawajima-Harima as the TF40-IHI-801A. Unlike the Jaguar, the T-2 had single wheels. This is the experimental Control Configuration Vehicle (CCV) that has three canards.

Delivered to the Nagoya Municipal Firefighting Aviation Unit as JA9093 in 1973. Preserved at Nagoya from 1991 and the Kakamigahara Aerospace Museum from 1998.

Preserved at the Kakamigahara Aerospace Museum from 1996.

This Quiet STOL research aircraft was powered by four FRJ710 turbofans and was intended to utilise the Coandă effect to generate lift by having the engine exhaust flow over the curved surface of the top of the wing. The type was also used to develop fly-by-wire systems and composite material construction. This is the only example built and is currently on display at the Kakamigahara Aviation Museum. The small Japanese 航空宇宙技術研究所 titles stand for National Aerospace Laboratory.

This YS-11 was delivered in March 1969 and after retirement was donated to this museum for display.

Just one of many interesting exhibits to be seen at the wonderful Kakamigahara Aerospace Museum close to Gifu AB.
