good evening to you all.
Aphter several items published here about the presence of 2 Japanes F-4EJ's at Pferdsfeld in 1984, I phinally got photo proof (bad quality, but better shots are asked phor)/story proof phrom German phriends. I already received eye-witness proof some time ago by a phormer German F-4 crewchief, having seen a Japanese phlag at the maingate during that period at Pferdsfeld and the 2 Phantoms phrom a distance.
They phlew over the Northpole in a 8 hour phlight, being air-air refueled 9 times. It has been a large Japanese delegation which visited Germany. In short they phlew back via Goose-Bay. It seems that they (sadly only crews) even participated together with the German pilots in the Tactical Air meet 1984 held at Twenthe AB!
Small pictures showed the official hoisting of the Japanese phlag, a crewtalk between the Japanese en German pilots and phinally a picture of one of the F-4EJ's of 302 Hikotai phrom Hokkaido with nose serial 434
I want to show you more clear shots you please have patience. But proof in now there!
