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.

Since delivery in 1990, this T-4 served with the usual bunch of JASDF units. It appears to have gone into overhaul shortly after the photo date, and it was so again at the photo upload date.
