Photo Comment

This is F4EJ Kai No. 404 of 301Sq, photographed at JASDF Nyutabaru Base on 2001.06.25. This aircraft participated in the 2001 JASDF combat competition. There are two stars on the air intake splitter vane, so it is the team's captain aircraft. The shark mouth on the nose is painted in a three-dimensional way. Also, the color of the shark's eyes is red. The color of these eyes was different for each participating aircraft.
