[About the actual machine]

--License production was carried out mainly by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
――After that, from 1982, the F-4EJ was developed by making repairs to improve the fighting ability such as changing the electronic equipment and extending the service life such as reinforcing the aircraft.
――We have protected the sky of Japan for almost half a century.
――The 8th Squadron, which was established in 1960, operated the F-4EJ Kai from 1997, which was deployed at Misawa Base, to 2009, when the model was changed to the F-2.
――The offshore camouflage, mainly blue, was applied according to the mission at sea, and the slightly different expression attracted attention.
