Although based on and similar in appearance to the Lockheed Martin F-16, Japan's F-2A is substantially bigger. 94 production aircraft were built but 12 were lost in the 2011 tsunami at Misawa AB in the north. Tsuiki in the far south is the only other base housing an F-2A unit, 6 Hikotai. Two of their aircraft are seen here taxiing back in on the quay where runway 07 extends out into the water

96 of Japan's 140 F-4EJs, made by Mitsubishi, were modified from 1984 onwards to 'Kai' (extra) standard with improved radar, avionics and weopons systems. The 301 Hikotai at Nyutabaru is one of only two units still operating them and has 19 currently reckoned to be active

The JMSDF operated a total of 64 P2V-7 (SP-2H) patrol aircraft from 1956 to 1981. The first 16 were transferred from the USN, the remainder either assembled or manufactured by Kawasaki in Japan. The final delivery was in 1965, three years after Lockheed had finished production. This example was one of those delivered in knocked-down component form

Based on the BAe 125 Series 800, Japan has 28 U-125As for SAR duties. They have observation windows, 360° radar and thermal imaging systems, flare & marker-buoy dispenser and extra comms equipment. A life-raft packed into a tube can be discharged through the mainwheel bay, requiring the undercarriage to be lowered. The aircraft has enhanced protection against salt water. Examples are deployed across the JASDF base network and this one is the local resident

In the early 1960s, Shin Meiwa extensively modified a Grumman UF-1 (BuAer 149822) with a boundary layer control STOL system. The company, previously known as Kawanishi, used wartime experience with flying boats (see my Emily photo #20511to further develop the UF-XS, which first flew in 12.62, into an ASW patrol aircraft, leading to the PS-1/US-1 for the JMSDF. The unique UF-XS is now in the Kakamigahara Aerospace Museum; note unusual 4-engined configuration with 3-bladed props inboard and 2-bladed outboard
