JASDF F-2

This is not F-16. This is F-2 of JASDF (Japan Air Self-Defense Force). It is based on F-16, but the many things are altered: wings are wider and made of composite materials, phased-array radar in the nose, and so on. One difference easy to find is that canopy of F-2 is made of two pieces.

 

The body color is intended to be hard to see above the sea. Japan may be the only country that paints military aircrafts in blue.
