In 1967 the U.S. became aware of the Soviet MiG-25 Foxbat. This made it necessary to develop
a new aircraft to counter the MiG-25. The USAF rejected the USN F-14 Tomcat and issued its
own requirements. The solution came in the form of the McDonnell-Douglas (now Boeing) F-15
Eagle. The F-15A made its inaugural flight in July 1972 and in January 1976 the first Eagle
entered service. The "E" entered service in 1989. The F-15 was the first dedicated USAF air
superiority fighter since the F-86 Sabre.
McDonnell Douglas F-15J Eagle 62-8866 c/n 066 was procured by the Nihon Koku Jietai
(Japanese Air Self Defense Force, or JASDF) in 1986 and assigned to the 204th Hikotai. The
JASDF initially acquired 88 F-15J’s beginning in July 1981. In 1984 the 204th was the third
squadron to be equipped with the F-15 replacing the F-104J’s they had been flying since 1964.
Early in 2009 the 204th Hikotai moved to Naha, Okinawa trading bases with the 302nd Hikotai
that moved their F-4EJ’s to the former 204th base at Hyakuri.
