The Japanese government didn’t know until six days later that the US military plane in Japan lost parts again.

　　Reference message networkReported on March 8Japanese media said that Japanese government officials recently revealed that the F-15 fighter plane belonging to the Kadena Base of the US Air Force in Okinawa Prefecture (located in Kadena Town and other places) dropped about 1.4 kilograms of antenna-shaped parts during the flight on the morning of February 27. The United States contacted the Japanese government on this matter on the 5th of this month six days later.

　　According to Kyodo News reported on March 7, in Okinawa, accidents and problems such as forced landing of US military aircraft and falling parts occurred one after another. Parts of the Marine Corps transport plane "Osprey" weighing about 13 kilograms fell on the sea. When it was found drifting to Iji Island in Yuliuma City in February, the US did not inform the Japanese side of the fall. The voice of dissatisfaction with the US military is bound to rise again.

　　According to relevant sources, the falling parts are about 38 cm long, 15 cm wide and weigh about 1.4 kg. On the morning of February 27th, the plane took off from Kadena base. When it returned, it checked the body and found that the parts were missing. It is reported that the aircraft belongs to the 18th Air Corps, and the location of the dropped parts is still unclear.

　　According to the report, the F-16 fighter plane of the Misawa base of the US Air Force (located in Aomori Prefecture), which lost parts of the US military aircraft and caught fire in the engine, abandoned the fuel tank in the lake where shellfish fishing boats were operating in February. In December, 2017, there was also a case in Okinawa where a large transport helicopter CH-53E of the Marine Corps, weighing about 7.7 kilograms, fell during physical education class in elementary schools in Ginowan City.

　　According to Kyodo News reported on March 7, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga Yoshihide expressed his dissatisfaction with the US approach at a press conference on the 7th that an F-15 fighter plane belonging to the Kadena base of the US Air Force in Okinawa Prefecture (located in Kadena-CHO and other places) dropped its parts during the flight and contacted the Japanese government six days after the incident. He said: "It is a pity that it was not reported immediately. We have strongly urged the US to promptly notify, find out the reasons and prevent recurrence."

　　Suga Yoshihide also stressed: "The flight of U.S. military aircraft should be based on ensuring the safety of local residents, and no accidents can occur. The information obtained from the US will be properly conveyed to the local government. "

　　The defense center Onoji Five Codes revealed to the media in the Ministry of Defense that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had the relevant information on the 5th of this month, six days after the incident on February 27th. He said that under normal circumstances, the US side communicates through the Okinawa Defense Bureau of the Ministry of Defense. "I am confused and am confirming the details, and I will ask the US side to give priority to confirming safety."

　　According to the report, on the other hand, Weng Changxiong, the governor of Okinawa Prefecture, told the media in the county government: "We will strongly demand a thorough revision of the inspection, maintenance and safety management system. This matter is very indignant. " Regarding the response measures after the accident, Weng Chang expressed distrust and said that "it is extremely regrettable that there would be no contact without asking".

　　In an interview, the mayor of Kadena-CHO, where Kadena base is located, said: "Every time there is an accident, it will be required to prevent similar situations from happening again. However, if the same situation happens again, it can only be considered that the US military lacks tension and it is impossible to prevent the US from quickly announcing the ins and outs of the incident."

　　Yoshihiro Fukuda (57), who lives in Kadena-CHO, said angrily: "In Okinawa, where the base burden is too heavy, this is a problem that threatens the lives of the citizens of the county and cannot be allowed."
