The 105th Squadron (第105飛行隊 (dai-ichi-zero-go-hikoutai)) was a squadron of the 3rd Air Wing of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) based at Komaki Air Base in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It was equipped with North American F-86D Sabre aircraft.[1]
History
On March 15, 1962 the squadron was formed at Komaki Air Base. It followed the 103rd Squadron. There was no 104th squadron formed because the JASDF had already decided to introduce the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter as the next interceptor.
It was disbanded on December 1, 1967, on the same day as fellow Komaki unit 102nd Squadron.[1] At that time the type of aircraft operated by a Japanese fighter squadron was linked to the type of aircraft operated. Squadrons 101-105 were F-86D squadrons.
