Situated in the eastern outskirts of the city, the Gifu base houses the Air Development and Test Facility for the JASDF. Its role could be considered the Japanese equivalent of the RAE at Farnborough, UK. The inventory here includes examples of F-4EJ, F-15J, F-2A/B, T-4, C-1FTB, XC-2. The annual airshow was held in Oct this year. Nearby on the south eastern side of the field is the splendid Kamigahara Aerospace and Science Museum, displaying a number of Japanese experimental prototypes.
