I had a chance to play on the cockpit version in a huge arcade in Akihabara, Tokyo this year. I'm not sure whether Atari exported any units to Japan and I couldn't see any markings on it that would indicate that it was intended for the Japanese market. Presumably the arcade had paid a lot of money to import it from the US. It's an excellent game that has aged very well, although the locals seemed more interested in their rhythm and fighting games. ;)
