It's rare to see an F4 taxiing with its boarding ladder still attached. The aircraft that participated in the 1999 JASDF combat competition was painted with a morale-boosting design. The nose featured a shark's teeth pattern, and the left air intake splitter vane featured an illustration of a skull piercing a missile, the symbol of the opposing AGR.
