On December 1, 1985, two F-104Js from 207SQ flew from Naha Air Base to Nyutabaru Air Base and performed a flypast at an air show held at JASDF Nyutabaru Air Base. Because Naha Air Base faces the sea, 207SQ's aircraft are painted with anti-salt paint and are not silver. 207SQ was disbanded soon after, and all of Japan's F-104Js were retired except for the experimental aircraft.
