The JASDF has acquired 37 F-25DJ two-seaters with twelve being built by McDonnell Douglas and the remainder built under license by Mitsubishi. The Eagles replaced the aging F-104s. Late in 1981 a Tactical Fighter Training Squadron (Hiko Kyodotai) was established at Tsuiki but moved to Nyuabaru in 1983 as a dedicated Aggressor Squadron. The main aircraft is the F-15DJ with a few F-15Js. The Aggressor Squadron's task is to train potential F-15 pilots at Nyuabaru as well as other locations for proficiency training. These Aggressors wear unique schemes on each aircraft.
