The JASDF 3rd Squadron "Samurai Spirits" was formed on October 1, 1956 as their first actual fighter unit and not a training unit. The squadron made their home base at Misawa Air Base on December 1, 1971. In September 1977 they belonged to the 3rd Air Wing at Misawa and began receiving the Mitsubishi F-1 aircraft. In September 2000 they began to replace the F-1 with the Mitsubishi F-2A Fighter. In 2016 F-2A 43-8524 received a paint scheme honoring the 60th Anniversary of the 3rd Squadron, the longest serving JASDF squadron.
