Okinawa window fall U.S. helicopter resume flight of the same type
Last month, it was confirmed that the helicopter of the same aircraft had resumed flight on the 7th due to the accident that the window of a large helicopter of the US Army Futenma base fell on the sea east of the main island of Okinawa. During the period when Okinawa Prefecture was seeking to stop the flight of the same aircraft, Governor Tamaki rebelled, saying, “The US military posture is unacceptable.”
Last month, on the sea east of the main island of Okinawa, a window weighing approximately 1 kilometer fell from the CH53 helicopter deployed at Futenma Station, and Okinawa Prefecture suspended the flight of the same aircraft for a week on this month. Asked the US military to investigate.
Under these circumstances, according to the prefecture, it was confirmed that the CH53 helicopter resumed flight at the Futenma base on the 7th.
On this day, Governor Tamaki commented on the 8th, saying, “The attitude of the US military who resumed the flight unilaterally without explaining the cause and preventing the recurrence is unacceptable. "I have to question about the sense of ownership of the party, and I strongly regret the series of responses between the US military and the Japanese government."
