The Queen Air was used in considerable numbers by the navy in Japan before replacement by the King Air, and also in smaller numbers by the air force. This eye-catching example bears the markings of the Southwestern Command Support Flight based at Naha, Okinawa

The six digit serials of JASDF aircraft may appear random but they conform to a simple system. The first number is the last digit of the year in which the aircraft was delivered, in this case 1980; the second is a type code (7 = F-4); the third is a role code (8 = fighter); and the last three are individual sequence numbers (436 = one of the last in the production block 301 to 440, tying with c/n)

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

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
