This photo was taken at Nyutabaru Air Base on November 22, 1999, and shows 501Sq-RF4EJ No. 335 belonging to Hyakuri Air Base. It's hard to see in the shadows, but although this aircraft is a reconnaissance aircraft, you can see that it has Sidewinders (dummy munitions) attached under the wings. This is because the F4EJ has been converted into a reconnaissance aircraft. Incidentally, the Woodpecker bow tie that is the unit markings on this aircraft is blue. Normally, this color is yellow, but around 1999, there were also RF4 aircraft that had this color in blue.
