The Mitsubishi F-1 is a single-seat attack aircraft that evolved from the Mitsubishi T-2
supersonic jet trainer. Its primary task in the Japanese Self Defense Force is anti-
shipping with an air-to-air capability. The F-1 entered service in April 1978 and
production ended in March 1987. 160 aircraft were planned, but only 77 were built. The
F-1 had several upgrades to extend its service life. The F-1 has slowly been replaced by
the Mitsubishi F-2 and upgraded F-4EJ "Kai" Phantom II's. In 2006 six F-1's were retired.
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.
