Japan's air force grows slowly amid Soviet training flights
At Hyakuri Air Base Japan's self defense force watches as a Soviet bomber nicknamed The Tokyo Express makes training runs along the Pacific coast twice monthly. Japan fields about 130 F104s and 1,200 active pilots with no reserves and little long term power. Two Phantom jets are slated for delivery or local production, but overall defense plans for 1972-1977 focus on training aircraft like the XT2 rather than combat strength.
