Osprey transport to Okinawa

Osprey transport to Okinawa

GINOWAN, Japan - Demonstrators obstruct the path of a vehicle carrying U.S. military personnel in front of the U.S. Marine Corps' Futenma Air Station in Ginowan, Okinawa Prefecture, on Aug. 12, 2013, to protest additional deployment of MV-22 Osprey aircraft. The U.S. military the same day resumed transport of Ospreys to the airbase from the Iwakuni base after a fatal helicopter crash a week ago forced it to postpone the deployment of the tilt-rotor aircraft amid safety concerns about military operations.
