As hinted by the first digit in its serial, 1974 was the year this Phantom was delivered, as an F-4EJ. Conversion to Kai standard took place in 1991 and in October 2010, it was put into storage at Hyakuri. Alive and kicking here, one year earlier.

Originally an F-4EJ like all later RF-4EJs, so a fighter and not a reconnaisance plane, this one was delivered as 77-8397. Upon conversion, all were reserialled to have a 6 as the first digit behind the dash, following JASDF serial system standards.

Returning from another mission with the LOROP (Long Range Oblique Photography) reconnaisance pod. As the RF-4EJ is a converted F-4EJ that kept the cannon, some external device was always needed to carry out its primary task.
