Small portion of U.S. air base in Okinawa returned

Photo taken in May 2017 shows Osprey aircraft lined up on the tarmac at U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma in Ginowan, Okinawa Prefecture. The United States returned to Japan a small strip of land within the air base on July 31, in a move the Japanese government has touted as a reduction in the disproportionate burden on the prefecture from hosting U.S. military forces.
