As hinted by the first digit in its serial, 1974 was the year this Phantom was delivered, as an F-4EJ. Conversion to Kai standard took place in 1991 and in October 2010, it was put into storage at Hyakuri. Alive and kicking here, one year earlier.

Since delivery in 1990, this T-4 served with the usual bunch of JASDF units. It appears to have gone into overhaul shortly after the photo date, and it was so again at the photo upload date.

Ready for departure once again. On this rainy day, the engines have dried the aft fuselage skin from within with their heat. The exhaust did the same from the outside, to the forward halve of the tail.

Even with the "barn doors" extended, the Phantom's delta wing requires a very nose-high attitude on landing. The aircraft is wet from the rain, except for part of the rear fuselage that is kept dry by engine heat.

This Mitsubishi built F-4EJ Kai / Phantom II of 301 Hikotai "Frogs" is seen here at dusk during last checks before launching into an early night flight at Nyutabaru. In June of 2016, the squadron moved to Hyakuri AB and was the last unit to operate the legendary Phantom. It stopped flying the F-4 in October 2020 and has since relocated to Misawa to operate the new F-35s.
