Central Air Command Support Squadron (中部航空方面隊司令部支援飛行隊, chūbu-kōkūhōmentai-shirei-bu-shien-hikō-tai) is a squadron of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force based at Iruma Air Base in Saitama Prefecture north of Tokyo. Under the authority of the Central Air Defense Force, the squadron operates Kawasaki T-4 and U-4 aircraft.[1][2]
There is a "Silver Impulse" T-4 acrobatic team that performs during the annual Iruma Air Show.[3] The name is derived from the official JASDF aerobatic team, Blue Impulse, and the fact that most of the pilots are aged 50 or over.
