This is F4EJ No. 428 of 301SQ, photographed at Nyutabaru Air Base on January 9, 1986. Around 1984, the silhouette of a hypothetical enemy aircraft, the MiG-21 Fishbed, was painted on the entire fuselage of this aircraft. This aircraft was used as an enemy aircraft in aerial exercises and as a tow aircraft for dart targets.
