History
The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II served with numerous air forces worldwide. In Japan, the F-4EJ and later F-4EJ Kai variants formed a core part of the nation’s air defence network for decades.
The 302nd Squadron, based at Hyakuri Air Base, operated the Phantom for many years. The “Black Phantom” scheme marked the type’s final operational period with the squadron in 2018 to 2019, celebrating the end of an era for one of Japan’s most iconic jet fighters.
