McDonnell Douglas F-15J Eagle 62-8866 c/n 066 was procured by the Nihon Koku Jietai (Japanese Air Self Defense Force, or JASDF) in 1986 and assigned to the 204th Hikotai. The JASDF initially acquired 88 F-15J’s beginning in July 1981. 

In 1984 the 204th was the third squadron to be equipped with the F-15 replacing the F-104J’s they had been flying since 1964. Early in 2009 the 204th Hikotai moved to Naha, Okinawa trading bases with the 302nd Hikotai that moved their F-4EJ’s to the former 204th base at Hyakuri.
