The first Japanese F-4EJ flew in 1971 and remained in active service until 2020, being the primary Japanese fighter during the Cold War and into the first two decades of the 21st century. The F-4EJ Phantom II was not used in combat operations, but played a key role in the air defense of Japan amid Cold War tensions.
