The new R/W(03L/21R) colse until Mar.10, 2010, because of the re-construction.

so the goverment ordered to the constructor to remove them.

JMSDF's SH-60J, S/N?, Omura A.B. was diched and sunk off the Nagasaki, one rescued and two lost on 8 Dec.. It happend about 1940pm.

JASDF's F-15J 22-8930/306sqn. made a belly landing at komatsu on 4 Dec.
It seems to be a simple pilot mistake that he forgot to down the gears.
