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.

Another drag chute assisted recovery in rainy weather. Aircraft delivered in 1981, with 302 Hikotai since 10 years at the photo date and just out of periodic overhaul since the previous month. In service until December 2020, the last 1.5 years with 301 Hikotai.

Ready for departure once again. On this rainy day, the engines have dried the aft fuselage skin from within with their heat. The exhaust did the same from the outside, to the forward halve of the tail.

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.
