I collect F15 patchtes in the Uk and would like help purcahsing F15J patches in Japan to add to my collection of 500+ patches as they are very hard to get outside of Japan.
Japanese F-15J upgrade program is called "F-15J Kai". "Kai" is a Japanese word which means "Modify". There are 2 types to upgrade, type-1 and type-2. 928 is a prototype for type-1, and 942 is for type-2. F-15J Kai have APG-63 (v)1 as its RADAR-FCS. It is not AESA, but seems can easy convert to (v)3 because it developed based on the APG-70.
This upgrade program is for MSHIP'ed F-15J. I'm not sure how many F-15J were upgraded now, but program is on going.
I hope this makes sence. :-)
Thanks, Kazuo.

Hello Koning san,
I translated your message to Japanese and post it to J-message board. I hope someone respond to you. :-)
I have a question related to the F-15J avionics suite..particularly in RADAR system, did it still use APG-63 RADAR or have it been replaced with later variant (APG-70) or Japanese indigenous RADAR system ?
I'm very grateful for any response given :D

Dear Aviation Enthousiast,
I am looking for people who can help me with slides of F-4EJ,F-15J,T-4 and other Japanes military aircraft types. I can offer many slides of European Air Forces in exchange.
I apologise for the wrong topic but I am hoping some here may be able to help.
A friend of mine is putting together a very in depth detail book of the F-4Phantom. Currently ha will be covering mostly USAF versions.
He would like very much to include some JASDF subjects as well. I have some outside photos that he is interested in but he feels that he can't properly include the F-4EJ Kai without cockpit photos.
Does anyone here have, or know where I can find, good, high quality photos of the cockpits of JASDF Phantoms? All versions would be useful but the F-4EJ Kai is most important.
All credit will be given for any photos used.
Once again, I'm sorry that this isn't an F-15 question but I hope you can help us.
Thank you very much. arigato gozaimas. Darren Mottram

Ohaio Gosaimas.
I have the folowing question. What do the stencil lines on the upper wing look like, they look like walkways and seem to be masked with black or unmasked with white small stripes ? any clear photos?
Good morning, Has the multi coloured aggressor F 15J, with the white dragon, ever been comfirmed as correct colours as constructed with the scheme as shown in the 'Military in Scale' Dec.'03. Two Bobs decals state that four (4) F 15 J had the white dragon applied but all were only painted in two (2) tone aggressor grey. Which scheme is correct?

Hello,
I am sorry that it took so long to react. We went afterall to Japan first week of April and had fantastic time. Everywere good flying and we see lot of aggressors at Nyatubaru and many F1ｴs and recce Phantoms so our visit was fantastic. We hope to visit Japan again in 2006.
Ciao, Marco > So if you visit an airbase on the first week, there is a high chance that you'll see an empty airbase. > > The second or third week will be less riskier, because the new financial year will have started and planes will start flying again. > > Hope it helps, > phoenix
Konnichiwa Kazuo-sama! Yes, it's strange, I doubt accuracy but looks VERY cool! Thank you so much for update on aggressor colors. Now I understand delay. I'll patiently wait further, I'm sure it's worth it! Best regards Mario
For aggressor's colors, I'm pending to publish this information for Japanese legal reason. I'm tring to clear this but schedule is still unknown. Sorry for waiting very long time...
Domo arigato Kazuo-san! I found the link (hope it works), please take a look. Any news on F-15DJ "Aggressor SQ" colors? Best regards Mario aka Holly-sama in NYC
Zen-ryaku Taguchi-sama, I thought that subject plane was only painted in 2-tone ghost grayw. I saw q picture recently (lost link, will try to post it here later) from UK National plastic modeling contest in Telford where the model of F-15J nr.963 (!) was painted in medium blue and light purple in addition to 2 grays, EXACTLY like "aggressor" nr.919. It looks nice but is this accurate? So-so Holly-sama
I know it is the lates F-15 Sqn. formed. Was it formed disbanding another one, and if yes, which one? Thank you in advance, cheers from Italy

ESTIMADO AMIGO TE ESCRIBO DESDE LA REPUBLICA ARGENTINA PARA SABER SI ESTAS INTERESADO EN INTERCAMBIAR PATCJS DE LA FUERZA AEREA DE JAPON POR PATCHS DE LA FUERZA AEREA ARGENTINA
I have a doubt about #060 while serving with 204SQ. I've seen pictures of it (from 1991, I think) with orange markings like those seen on mr. Kai's pictures of #065(065-7) and #073(073-13) here on your site.
Do you know the reason of those markings? Thanks in advance.
(by the way, I like very much the picture of mr.Itou of #804 on your last update. The earlier 303SQ marking is way cool!!)

Hello gaijinperson-san,
The F-15J can't fire AMRAAMs. The missile that looks like an AMRAAM is AAM-4, a Japanese medium range missile.
Just one more question. Can F-15J fire AIM-120 AMRAAMs ?or does the JASDF got any planes for buying AMRAAM. I seen the photo in achieve of what appears to be AAM-4. Has it entered service ?
