- In Japan, the current Phantom fleet is at the end of 2019 at the end of its career within the Japan Air Self Defense Force (JASDF). The successor to the Phantom will be the Lockheed-Martin F-35 Lightning II in Japan. The Phantoms have served with the Japanese Air Force for over 45 years and have flown in eight squadrons during their service. After the last recce RF-4E(J) Kai were phased out at the end of March 2020, the 301 Hikotai is the only unit that still flies with the F-4EJ Kai. After the retirement of the type, the Phantom can only be admired in the museum and on the photos and videos taken by the many fans in recent years. After 45 years of loyal service in the JASDF, the Samurai Phantoms will therefore be taking off for the last time in 2020 and will land definitively. This video is made at the end of 2019 when the Phantoms were still going strong. Legends will never die....................

Those Japanese F4s are absolutely gorgeous. They look like they are brand new. Huge respect for the professionalism of the maintenance guys.
They look indeed very well maintained. Personally I think this are the best looking Phantoms ever!!
@@AlexvanNoije No doubt !! I've seen very tired Greek or Turkish F4s. Even the Luftwaffe F4s did not look as fresh as the japanese ones.
Completely true ☺
Still one of my favourite planes of all times, along with the F-14 Tomcat. The war stories of Willy Driscoll over Vietnam in his F-4 are legendary.
It is really a characteristic aircraft. I love them as well 👍
Holy words.
Glad that you liked it ☺
My grandpa who was in WWII flew one of these right as Japan put them in service. He flew the Zero as his first fighter than the F4 into retirement. Living through the entire Golden Age of aviation.
Than your grandpa is a legend as well like the phantom. It was indeed a golden age for aviation!!! Nice to meet you here 😊
@@AlexvanNoije i believe we were the last country to retire our F4s. I believe Greece and Germany were the last two before we gradually did. As of this year in March, they're all retired. If a war were to break out, I bet a limited few could be pressed back in service as BVR assistance.
@@orneryokinawan4529 in Greece and Turkey they are still operational. In Germany they were already in 2013 replaced by the Eurofighter. Also South Korea is still operating some Phantoms! But Japan was indeed the last user in the world who retired the RF-4 recce versions.
@@AlexvanNoije they can carry a payload much heavier than most of what we got aside from F-15Js. But age unfortunately is an issue.
Yes I heard that also from the Germans that the F-4 is a very stable platform!
Very nice video. The blue painted RF-4E looks beautiful. 👌👍
Thanks. They are indeed some really good looking planes. Too bad that we can only see them is the museum from now on.
My dad flew The F-4 out of Okinawa. Domo Arrigato for seeing her in the sky again, where she belongs
Thanks. The legend of aviation belongs in the sky!!!
@@AlexvanNoije The F4-U Corsair was almost as beautiful, my friend
@@EthanBSide also a very good looking plane indeed!!
@@AlexvanNoije what's you're favorite?
Mirage F1 from the classic list and Marine Rafale of the current generation 😎
Wow !!! Those Japanese Phantoms are absolutely marvellous 😊😎
Thanks man. We really mis the Phantom 😔
@@AlexvanNoije Ahh you are welcome as it is a beauty to be missed pretty badly :(
#PhantomForever 💪
Yes indeed we all love the legend of the Spook 🤙🤙
Beautiful video, man! Liked!
What a beauties! :) Especially at 2:22!!! :)
Greetz
Thanks, those recce Phantoms are also my favorites :D
@@AlexvanNoije You're welcome! 👍🏼😊 Nice! 👊🏼😎
I just read that there is a sale of F-35s pending. I hope you guys get them. I think the F-4 looks meaner.
The F-4 is indeed a way better looking plane than the F-35. But, we can't help it, technique is developing :D
Must be be the best looking fighter ever. Angry Art Work.
It is indeed one of the best looking aircraft I ever saw. One of the best paint jobs in the world 😎
That was THE definition of a "fighter plane" to a 10 year old in the 70's. Loved watching them do low altitude flights in the 70's/80's. Loud, fast and smoky.
Those Driver's have my deepest Appreciation and Respect #Avgeek #Fan
Thanks David. I have the same feeling. Phantom Phorever 🤙🤙👍
Right here stokes :).
Phantom Phorever.... :-D
good video
Thanks 👍
Mooi filmke Alex! Stiekem geoefend zie ik wel😁 grt Gijs D
PS, mooie kleurstelling die rhino's👌
Oefening baart kunst. Om eerlijk te zijn Gijs, was dit de eerste shoot met mijn video camera op de telelens van mij fotocamera gemonteerd. Je zult zien dat bij mijn latere opnames gemaakt in Japan de kwaliteit toeneemt. 😁😁
Oja en kleuren bewerken zit in het bloed. Ik ben fotograaf van origine, dus dat zit goed 😎
If the fighter Doctrine was changed in Vietnam from a long range only to a Dogfighter Doctrine. The Vietnam war would have been over in 6 months
Probably. It was a very expensive lesson for the USA 🇺🇸
The RF-4EJ Phantom is one of my favorite aircraft, I want it to remain in service for several decades instead of replacing it with the useless f35.
Here the same the Phantom is timeless. Also one of my all time favorites
The F35 should be in service beside the the F-4 that means more aircraft and the F-4 phantom will keep flying
Is not going to happen. All Japanese Phantoms are retired now 1 year ago !
F-4 phantom is the best looking fighter US ever made, not event F-16 could match it's beauty
Totally agree. one of the most beautiful looking fighters ever build!!!
Hello, 1958? We want our air supremacy back.
F4J: No we are still stronk!
They are now retired in Japan and replaced by the F35 😉
@@AlexvanNoije I'd feel safer in an F-4 with AIM-120s😉👌
Hehehe the most stable platform there is...
Where these in service until 2019?
Yes they were indeed
et rid of them, should have gone 20 years ago. Whats wrong with the Japanese airforce. Up grading now, so slow. Japan needed a kick up the arse about 2000. Japan is still waiting for the USA to help, those days have gone. Australia with a much smaller population upgrades every year. Japan designs new cars, electronics every year. Military forget it.
Its all about the money :-O
the F4 was built to last
@@paddington3023 Its old but very solid. A very stable platform.
The also have the F-15....
@@michaelgrey7854 They even have already the first F-35s 😉
