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.

The badge in front of the large observation window is that of the Air Rescue Wing or Koku Kyunandan, with the name 'Hyakuri' below it. That makes this a Hyakuri Kyunantai (Air Rescue Squadron) aircraft.

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.
