The Japan Air Self Defense Force operates more than 200 F-15Js, making its fleet of F-15s the second largest in the world. Armed with a 20mm Vulcan Cannon M61A1, medium range AIM-7 Sparrow and short range AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles, this aircraft is the JASDF's primary fighter. In 1999, the 305th squadron sent its six F-15Js to Guam for the Japan/US joint military exercises, marking the first time JASDF fighter planes were dispatched outside of Japan. Gaincorp have faithfully reproduced the lines of this aircraft, including opening canopy, moving rudders, and crew access ladder.
Designed for the US Air Force as an air-superiority fighter with superior acceleration, range and maneuverability, the F-15 first flew on July 27th, 1972. This aircraft has highly advanced weaponry and avionics design, including low wing loading and a high engine thrust-to-weight ratio, features that account for its maneuverability and talent for performing tight, high speed turns. The F-15's original design was so successful that more than a decade later it was re-envisioned as the F-15E Strike Eagle, an all-weather strike fighter. As one of the most successful military aircraft in aviation history, the F-15 is likely to remain in service until 2025.© Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
