JASDF accident reports for F-2 at Gifu AB on 2010.04.26, and F-2 at Misawa AB on 2010.04.27.
At Gifu, after F-2 landed, landing gear handle was probably at down position, and F-2 stopped when handle was in the middle position of outputting landing gear up signal.
When front pilot started engine, landing gear began to operate up, and F-2 squatted.
At Misawa, when pilot started engine, landing gear was at down position, but landing gear selector valve that toggled landing gear down and up, formed hydraulic path for landing gear up.
Landing gear began to operate up, and F-2 squatted.

Don ChanReminds me of maybe one of the “There I Was…” comics in the Air Force Magazine published by the USAFA (USAF Association):
Beside an aerial tanker, an USAF jet fighter loops and rolls to impress the tanker crew.
The tanker crew said they could do better… and flew level and straight for a while.
Then the crew told the fighter jock that they just went to the toilet. 8D

2010/08/14:
Crash site was near Tai Kang Village, Liu Ying Town, Tai Nan County, where a “72 holy persons temple” was built for the victims.
Reportedly, in recent years, the victims appeared in some persons’ dreams, to clarify they were martyrs, weren’t holy persons, and to request a monument.
Two years ago, one dreamer was Madame ZHANG Shu Nu, the abbot of Ci You Gong (Merciful Blessing Temple), Ping Tung. Yang’s classmate, XU Hao Ran (80, by August 2010), helped her, and a monument was completed by 28 February 2009.
Zhang ran a barber shop at Ping Tung AB, and one day, Xu was her customer. They chatted, and learnt Xu was Yang’s classmate.
Back then, Major Xu was a 6th Composite Wing (now 439th Composite Wing at Ping Tung AB) pilot. 33rd Class.
