I thought this was interesting.
The fact that a CV-22 Squadron is going to Japan, not so interesting.
The squadron going to Yokota, very interesting. Likewise, the Japanese recently announced that they are buying CV-22's.
FWIW- Yokota was a bitch to work out of because of flying curfews, I wonder if they are exempting the CV-22's? This also puts them away from the people they are (in theory) supporting (1/1 SFG and the local STS).
