The trouble was caused by the "EA18G Growler", which seems to be temporarily deployed from the naval base in the continental United States to the Misawa base, and the runway was closed for about 4 hours due to the movement of the aircraft and confirmation of safety. I did.
This trouble affected the flights of Japan Airlines using the runway of Misawa Airport, and according to Japan Airlines, one round trip and two flights connecting Misawa Airport and Haneda Airport were canceled, and Misawa Airport to Haneda Airport.
