JASDF Mitsubishi F-1

The Mitsubishi F-1 is Japan&first domestically developed and built supersonic military jet. At first glance, it somewhat resembles the French/Anglo SEPECAT Jaguar, but was a completely independent Japanese effort (although it uses the same engines). Its primary role is anti-ship attack with a secondary ground attack role. The last six active F-1s, based at Tsuiki in Fukuoka Prefecture, were retired on 9 March 2006
