| たぐちさん, hello. Yes, you're right! There was no F-15J Section as such in 1984.
However, looking the schedule (in Green Arrow's book 79-00 JASDF Senkyo Special Markings), it seems that both the 202 and the 203 Sqs acted as "escort fighters" (indeed, in the Senkyo story section it says "フェイカー機として参加" refering to the F-15J units, I believe).
Then, I have found two pictures, both dated November 1984 (the month the Senkyo was held). The place seems to be Komatsu AB (I'm not sure). One shows 830. The other shows a 3Sq F-1 with the large sharkmouth worn by the unit that year.
That's why I thought 830 could be one of those "escort" machines and asked for yor help.
If you're interested, I can put its picture on your picture-bbs, or send to you via mail.
Thanks Javi
(Please, convey Mr.Komatsu my congratulations for his great faker pictures. They are just BEAUTIFUL!!!!) |
