Historical Background

The Mitsubishi F-15J Eagle is the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's primary air superiority fighter, produced under license from the McDonnell Douglas F-15C Eagle. Entering service in the early 1980s, the F-15J has formed the backbone of Japan's air defense mission, providing rapid-response interception and protection of Japanese airspace. The 306th Tactical Fighter Squadron, based at Komatsu Air Base, is one of the JASDF's premier fighter squadrons. To commemorate its 40th Anniversary, one aircraft received an eye-catching special paint scheme that celebrates the squadron's long history while showcasing the professionalism and heritage of the JASDF.
