About the Real Aircraft

- Jointly developed with the United States, this aircraft is based on the F-16, customized for Japan's defense needs and geographical context.
- It is capable of carrying long-range anti-ship missiles (ASMs) and air-to-air radar missiles.
- The F-2 was initially assigned to the 3rd Squadron at Misawa Air Base and later deployed to the 6th and 8th Squadrons at Tsuiki Air Base, playing a pivotal role in Japan’s air defense missions.
- The 3rd Air Wing, part of the Northern Air Defense Force, was originally established in 1957 at Matsushima Air Base and subsequently moved to Gifu and Komaki bases, finally relocating to Misawa in 1978.
