Razbam Japan Brings Restored F-15 Cockpit to Tokyo Game Show
RAZBAM JAPAN's booth puts a restored military cockpit, not software, at the center of its TGS presence, which fits a company whose business is physical simulator hardware sold and installed rather than sold as a title.
Reporting from 1 source: GAME Watch (Impress).
At Tokyo Game Show 2026, held September 17 to 20 at Makuhari Messe, the RAZBAM JAPAN booth displayed a real F-15 Eagle cockpit restored from scrap, along with an F-35 cockpit said to be used for training. The company sells and installs flight simulator hardware, including home cockpits, instrument panels, switches, and flight sticks. Visitors could sit in the F-15 cockpit.
The F-15 cockpit on display was disposed of as scrap when the aircraft was retired. Instrument panels and other parts had been removed, and the remaining panels were drilled with holes and destroyed. RAZBAM JAPAN restored the scrap over time, leaving undamaged parts as they were, and the company says there are still many things it does not know, such as which part has what function. An F-35 cockpit said to be used for training was displayed alongside it.
The initial plan was to install monitors and make the cockpit a playable flight simulator station. RAZBAM JAPAN instead kept to the real feel and is collecting parts to continue the restoration. Some panel parts remain unfilled.
