Description
The F-4EJ Phantom II is an interception (scrambling to intercept enemy aircraft) fighter aircraft adopted by the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force based on the F-4E developed in the United States .
Due to the situation in Japan at the time, the bombing control device and aerial refueling device were removed.
The rest of the aircraft is almost the same as the US military's F-4E type.
The F-4EJ began production in Japan midway through, and the last production machine
was the last of all Phantoms. (Total number of Phantoms produced: 5,195)
The F-4EJ was deployed to bases across Japan, but
now the aircraft is old and some have been modified to the F-4EJ Kai and reconnaissance type RF-4EJ. Ta.
