U.S. Ospreys aircraft arrive in Japan base

IWAKUNI, Japan - Photo taken early in the morning of July 23, 2012, shows the U.S. commercial cargo ship Green Ridge off the coast of Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture, heading for the U.S. Marine Corps' Iwakuni Air Station. Carrying 12 U.S. Osprey military aircraft, the ship arrived at the air station in western Japan amid mounting local opposition against the planes due to concerns about their safety, which have been heightened by two recent crashes abroad.
