Previously displayed at Komake Airbase after 1969, the aircraft is pictured in the shadow of the Nagoya City Science Museum where it later moved. It's marked as 04-8176, 103rd Squadron of the 2nd Air Wing that was based at Komaki Airbase in Nagoya. Returned to the Self Defense Forces in 2007 when a more earthquake resistant building was constructed for the museum, the fighter was moved back to Komaki, remarked as 84-8111 for display.
