Photo Comment

For pre-training purposes prior to the JASDF Combat Skills Competition in the summer of 1992, the 301st SQ, based at Nyutabaru Air Base, painted two F4EJ Kai aircraft in the enemy's faker paint scheme. The paintwork on these aircraft is a faithful reproduction of the forest camouflage paintwork of the enemy's F1 fighter ground attack aircraft.
