KAWASAKI T-4 TRAINER - JASDF - 1995

Description

The Kawasaki T-4 is a Japanese subsonic intermediate jet trainer aircraft developed and manufactured by the commercial conglomerate Kawasaki Heavy Industries. Its sole operator is the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF), in part due to historic restrictions on the exporting of military hardware. In addition to its primary training mission, the T-4 has been used by the JASDF’s Blue Impulse aerobatic team as well as liaison duties with most fighter units.[2] The first XT-4 prototype flew on 29 July 1985, while the first production aircraft was delivered during September 1988.
