The Japanese Air Self Defense Force (shortened to Japanese Air Force or JASDF) is one of the two military forces to appear in Airport Hero New Chitose with JAL.
Description
The JASDF has F-15Js that depart for a training flight or are returning to base after training. It is an exact match of the real-life JASDF.
The JASDF appears again the second time in Airport Hero New Chitose with JAL after Airport Hero Naha Premium with their fleet of Mitsubishi F-15J Eagles. In Operation Mode for Airport Hero New Chitose with JAL, JASDF fighter jets appear in the JASDF parking area at Chitose Air Base, and can only use the runways there for takeoff and arrival. They never obstruct civilian aircraft on the ground as they have their separate airbase, but depending on the situation, may clog up the ATC frequencies. Additionally, in rare cases, a JASDF fighter jet would make a touch and go training, where the aircraft will make a normal approach, touch down, and take off into the sky again in a sharp angle.
In the final stage of Operation Mode, when the Japanese Government 747 arrives, two JASDF F-15Js will appear as escorts for a mock interception exercise. To which, another JASDF F-15J, bearing a striking "aggressor" paint scheme will enter the airspace towards the Japanese Government 747 and its escorts, posing as an enemy. When the prompt comes, the player should quickly order the F-15J escorts to intercept the intruder and chase it away from the airspace.
