The 8th AW (Kokudan) / 6th Squadron (Hikotai) is located at Tsuiki AB. In 1977 the 6th Squadron (Hikotai) flew the F-1 aircraft until 2006 when it was replaced by the more advanced F-2. In 2000 00-8240 took part in the JASDF "Air Combat Meet" which is similar to "Tiger Meets". It is various teams competing in aircraft against other aircraft in mock dog fights and attacks on ground targets to determine the proficiency of the pilot and aircraft. At the closing of the competition they determine the best pilot and best team.
Designed as a single-seat fighter variant of the T-2 Trainier, the F-1 was first flown in 1971. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
