Lined up for take-off with three other JASDF Starfighters: 56-8679, 46-8602 and 46-8650.

A Sabre supplied to Japan under MDAP (allocated serial 55-5105) as a kit and assembled by Mitsubishi. Delivered to the JASDF 13 Jun 1958. Withdrawn from use in Jul 1977 and returned to the USA, then taken on charge by the US Navy as QF-86F Bu555105.

This early Kawasaki-Vertol was registered to Kawasaki Heavy Industries as JA9509 on 6 Jun 1969 and based at their Gifu factory. It was registered to Airlift on 7 Dec 1990, which changed its name to Kawasaki Helicopter Systems in Oct 1992. The helicopter was cancelled from the Japanese register on export to the USA on 8 Feb 2006, but no subsequent N registration is known.

Apologies for the obtrusive grass stalks.

Registered on 31 Jan 1968. This aircraft was withdrawn from use in the early 1980s, and the registration was cancelled on 9 July 1981. It was later reported as preserved in Takigawa, Japan, but no evidence of this could be found.

This Tracker, which still carries its former US Navy serial 136681 under the tail plane, was returned to the US Navy in 1977 and stored at Atsugi Air Base, Japan. It was one of eleven ex-Japanese Trackers sold to Native Alaskan Reclamation and Pest Control (Lester Risley) on 27 January 1978, to be converted to airtankers. Registration N217AK was reserved for this aircraft, but in the end Mr. Risley was unable to complete the deal and none of the aircraft ever left Japan. Instead, all eleven were repossessed by the US Navy on 23 January 1979 and ten were subsequently broken up for scrap. The eleventh Tracker (ex 4108) went to South Korea for display at the War Memorial of Korea in Seoul.
