Proudly displaying clear markings, this is actually a bit of an imposter. It is one of two F-104Js marked as a former RF-104G. Built by Mitsubishi for the JASDF as 36-8565, it was withdrawn from use in Japan in January 1984 and obtained by the ROCAF as 4506 in 1987. Its service life ended around 1996 and it was moved here shortly after the turn of the century.
