About this product

On October 19, 1958, three F-86Fs performed aerobatics at an aviation festival held at Hamamatsukita Air Base, and the current Blue Impulse began. The Air Self-Defense Force established an aerial maneuver research team at the 1st Air Wing of Hamamatsu Air Base on April 16, 1960, and established an aerobatic team using the F-86F Sabre under the name of Tenryu. Using the F-86F, the team later changed its name to Blue Impulse using the call sign Impulse Blue, drawing the EXPO’70 of the Olympic Olympics and Expo in the air and making it known around the world. After this, he performed many aerobatic flights throughout Japan country, but from the 1982 season, he passed the baton to the domestic jet trainer T-2 in place of the aging F-86F. The speedy aerobatic maneuvers of the T-2 attracted many fans. The Blue Impulse team, which has been using the F-86F and T-2, has been changing to the latest domestic jet trainer T-4 since the 1996 season. The T-4, which can maneuver in the air on par with the F-15, presents a more advanced and creepy performance to the audience.
