These are the F-4J(UK) models. Nearest Tornados are up in Canada, and are more needed there. The RAF has plans to form two squadrons of Es made by the Japanese and send them to the Southern Theater.
They're here because the Js are going back to the USN (and likely broken down for parts), and that some of the crews are going to transition to the E at Kingsley Field, OR, and the others go back to the UK.
