F-4EJ

The F-4EJ was deployed a day after the outbreak or "Z-day" began in the city. This aircraft is first shown flying over Tokonosu City, taking photos of the surrounding area for some unknown reason, most likely for military assessment. It is assumed that governmental and military activities were in full swing, and that the infected were effectively quarantined in the side of the city.

Overview
The F-4EJ was used by the Japan Air Self-defense force.

Plot
As Takashi and Rei cross the Bridge on their way toward the East Police Station, this aircraft strafes the side of the bridge and takes a snapshot of the two survivors as it passes
