On display at the JMSDF Naval Air Museum, Kanoya on an autumn day. This is the last P-2J built. Seventh Kokutai was the last of the JMSDF squadrons to fly the P-2J, and this aircraft completed the last flight on June 5, 1994. The squadron emblem of a blue Omega with seven stars of the Big Dipper is visible on the tail of the aircraft.

This is actually F-4A 148275, which was the last F-4A built. It spent its entire active life assigned to VF-121 at NAS Miramar, CA. VF-121 was the first fleet squadron to receive the F-4, and was a crew training squadron. The aircraft has been on display at the USNA since 1969, and has been painted in the markings of several different squadrons over the years.

This P-2J is now preserved in the Kanoya Naval Air Base Museum, but here still operational.

In the process of being painted.

A total of 83 P-2Js were delivered to the JMSDF between 1969 and 1979. Besides converting the Neptune to turboprop power, Kawasaki incorporated many of the advanced systems used in the Lockheed P-3 Orion. A 54-inch fuselage extension between the wing and cockpit accommodated improved electronics
