The "Blue Impulse" aerobatic demonstration team was founded in 1960. The first aircraft used was the F-86 Sabre until they re-equipped with the Mitsubishi T-2 in 1980. The team and their T-2s were located at Matsushima airbase from 1982—1995 as 4AW 21SQ Technical Research Section. In 1995 the T-2 was traded for the new Kawasaki T-4 trainer. The team's 175th performance using the T-2 was in December 1995. In 2003 the first of the T-2s were retired and the last one was in March 2006.
Designed to replace the T-33 as an advanced supersonic trainer, the T-2 was first flown in 1971. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
