The 3 Kokudan (wing) is made up of two Hikotais (Squadrons), 3 Hikotai and 8 Hikotai. Both are assigned to Misawa Air Base in northern portion of the island of Honshu. The Mitsubishi F-1 first flew in November 1976 and very soon after equipped several squadrons. In 1983 JASDF squadrons began to use individual markings so the 8 Hikotai of 3 Kokudan chose the Black Panther (Kurohyou) as well as using “Black Panthers” as their name. A Black Panther is usually found on the aircraft tail and just behind the cockpit
Designed as a single-seat fighter variant of the T-2 Trainier, the F-1 was first flown in 1971. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
