About the Aircraft

The F-15J Eagle is a twin-engine, all-weather air superiority fighter in use by Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) since 1982.
The 306th Tactical Fighter Squadron(306SQ) is a squadron of the 6th Air Wing of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JSDAF) based at Komatsu Airbase, in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. The 306SQ was founded on at Hyakuri Airbase in 1981 with F-4EJ aircraft, and converting to F-15J from 1997. The Golden Eagle of the unit mark is a motif of Ishikawa prefectural bird. The F-15J Eagle was equipped the original tactical electronic warfare system, J/TEWS, and also has its own data link systems. Since F-15J were deployed from 1982, it is playing a main force even today to protect the sky above the Southwestern Japan.
The F-15J wears normally air-superiority camouflage, but adds some special markings for the combat practice and airbase airshows. In the Airshow 2018 at Komatsu Airbase, one aircraft of the 303SQ and one aircraft of the the 306SQ were painting in special marking and gave aerobatic exhibitions, and attracted many spectators.
