This is an F4EJ Kai of the 302nd Squadron based at Naha Air Base of Okinawa Island , photographed at Nyutabaru Air Base in 2006. In preparation for their participation in that year's Air Self-Defense Force Combat Skills Competition, these aircraft had the image of a "shisa" (a lion said to have been brought from the ancient Orient), the traditional guardian deity of Okinawa Island, painted on their noses instead of the shark's face.

This is a display aircraft with a shark mouth, 301SQ-F4EJ kai, that flew from Hyakuri Air Base to the JASDF-Tsuiki Air Base Air Show held on December 8, 2019.

This is an RF4EJ belonging to Hyakuri Air Base, photographed at JASDF-Nyutabaru Air Base on November 12, 2004. This year was the 50th anniversary of the founding of JASDF, so perhaps the shark teeth were painted on the nose of the RF4EJ.

This is the 501SQ-RF4E, a display aircraft with a shark mouth design on its nose, which flew from Hyakuri Air Base to the JASDF Tsuiki Air Base and Nyutabaru Air Base Air Show held in December 2019.

On December 8, 2019, the 301SQ's soon-to-be-retired F4EJ commemorative paint job and 501SQ-RF4E flew from Hyakuri Air Base to the Nyutabaru Air Base Air Show and were displayed on the apron.This was the 301SQ-F4EJ's first homecoming demo flight at the base in three years since it left Nyutabaru Air Base in October 2016.To ensure that we, the general spectators, could see it well, this aircraft made repeated slow circles around the north side of the apron (tower side) where the light was coming from, so that its back could be seen.

This is F4EJ kai No. 400 of 301SQ, photographed at Nyutabaru Air Base on December 10, 1997. An illustration commemorating the 40th anniversary of the opening of Nyutabaru Air Base was painted on the nose.
The serial number of No. 400 was changed to 40 and surrounded by a laurel wreath, and the amusing illustration shows the F4 mascot, Spook, emitting the word "Kamehameha." "Kamehameha" is an energy blast fired by the main character of the popular Japanese anime "Dragon Ball."

This is a photo of the F4EJ of the 301SQ taken at the Nyutabaru Air Base Air Show in November 1989. These aircraft participated in the air combat competition held in November of that year, and each aircraft had a different shark mouth shape.

These are RF4Es of the 501st SQ that flew from Hyakuri Air Base, photographed at JASDF Tsuiki and Nyutabaru Air Base in 1994.
They had illustrations of beast gods from Chinese mythology on the noses of the aircraft.
In 1994, the 501st Squadron painted illustrations of the "Five Beast Gods" on the noses of five RF4Es.
The guardian deity of the center of heaven is the "Kirin (No. 914)", and there are four beast gods protecting the four sides of heaven, with the "Turtle God (No. 906)" protecting the northern heaven, the "White Tiger (No. 907)" protecting the western heaven, the "Phoenix (No. 909)" protecting the southern heaven, and the "Blue Dragon" protecting the eastern heaven.

This is a photo of the F4EJ of the 301SQ taken at the Nyutabaru Air Base in 1990-1991. These aircraft competed in an aerial combat competition in 1990, with each aircraft sporting a different shark mouth shape.

These photos of the 301SQ-F4EJ Kai taking off were taken at JASDF Nyutabaru Base in the fall of 2001.

This is the takeoff of a 301SQ-F4EJ kai with a "JAQ-1 surface target" attached under its fuselage in October 2006. After this, F4EJs equipped with dummy bombs take off following this aircraft.

The JAQ-1 can be mounted on F4EJ/kai and F1 fighter planes. When this target is dropped into the sea, a large target automatically unfolds on the surface of the water, and a large triangular tent-like target appears.

This photo was taken at Nyutabaru Air Base in March 2008. The 301SQ-F4EJ Kai with a dummy bomb attached to the underside of the fuselage took off. These three F4EJ Kai took off following an F4EJ with a JAQ-1 surface target attached.

This is a 301SQ-F4EJ Kai equipped with a simulated anti-ship missile, photographed at the JASDF's Nyutabaru Air Base in April 2003. In the background of the first photo, you can see F15Js flying in from Chitose Air Base. Around this time, the JASDF began conducting aerial refueling training with the US Air Force in preparation for the introduction of the KC767 tanker aircraft in 2008. Incidentally, the F4EJ did not have aerial refueling capability from the beginning due to political reasons.

This photo was taken at JASDF Nyutabaru Air Base, of a 301SQ-F4EJ towing a dart target.The 301Sq began deploying the F4EJ "Kai" which had been upgraded to improve its capabilities in mid-1991. However, until around 2000, a few unupgraded F4EJs remained, and they continued to perform missions such as towing dart targets.

These are 301SQ-F4EJs equipped with RMK-19A/A47U-3, photographed at JASDF Nyutabaru Air Base and Tsuiki Air Base.




  







  
2024年10月17日

These photos were taken at the JASDF Nyutabaru Air Base of the 301SQ-F4EJ Kai towing an AGTS (Aerial Gunnery Target System).
This AGTS is a target towing device used for machine gun firing training. Since the F4EJ, which was capable of towing dart targets, was retired by around 2000, this AGTS, which can be installed on the F-15J/DJ and F-4EJ Kai, became the standard target.











  
2024年10月18日

These photos were taken at JASDF Nyutabaru Air Base around 1990 and show a 301SQ-F4EJ equipped with a chaff pod.











  
2024年10月19日

This photo was taken on July 1, 1986 at JASDF-Nyutabaru Base of a 301SQ-F4EJ equipped with a J/ALQ-6 ECM pod.

The J/ALQ-6 ECM pod is a jamming pod made in Japan for the F-4EJ that was experimentally developed in 1982. There are only a few F4EJs that can be equipped with it, and I have only seen it twice.

These are F4EJs fitted with "dust collection pods."
"Dust collection pods" are devices that measure the nuclide and radioactivity concentration of radioactive material contained in dust in the air at different altitudes. Inside the pods are filters that collect airborne dust, which is then brought back to the base from the sky and analyzed by a specialist institution.

These are 301SQ-F4EJ Kais equipped with rocket launchers and training bombs under the fuselage, photographed at JASDF Nyutabaru Air Base around 1998.

This is a 302SQ-F4EJ Kai equipped with a mock anti-ship missile and a ceremonial travel pod (a former F104 drop tank) at JASDF Nyutabaru Air Base on February 21, 1995. This aircraft stopped at Nyutabaru Air Base on its way to cross-country from Naha Air Base to Hyakuri Air Base.
