JASDF plans to base E-2Cs in Naha, Okinawa

Japan plans to allocate funds in the fiscal 2014 budget for deploying E-2Cs to Naha Air Base in Okinawa.

The early warning aircraft will help improve detection of Chinese aircraft flying towards Senkaku Islands.

Half of JASDF’s 13 E-2Cs now at Misawa Air Base will be transferred to Naha.
