JASDF Matsushima Air Base (松島基地, Matsushima Kichi) (ICAO: RJST) is a military aerodrome of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force located in Higashimatsushima, 6.6 NM (12.2 km; 7.6 mi) west[1] of Ishinomaki in the Miyagi Prefecture, Japan.

It is also the home base for the "Blue Impulse" JASDF acrobatic display team.

In 1954, "Camp Matsushima" was renamed "Matsushima Air Field" and training operations for the fledgling Japan Air Self-Defense Force began using North American T-6 Texan trainers.

In 1971 an F-86F Sabre on a training mission from this base collided with All Nippon Airways Flight 58, causing 162 deaths.

[2] During the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the base was flooded with seawater, and eighteen Mitsubishi F-2Bs belonging to 21st Squadron, as well as other aircraft, were damaged or destroyed.
