The six digit serials of JASDF aircraft may appear random but they conform to a simple system. The first number is the last digit of the year in which the aircraft was delivered, in this case 1980; the second is a type code (7 = F-4); the third is a role code (8 = fighter); and the last three are individual sequence numbers (436 = one of the last in the production block 301 to 440, tying with c/n) This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
