驻日美军一架鱼鹰运输机于8月10日在栃木县宇都宫机场紧急着陆[1]。该机因驾驶舱仪表故障而被迫降落[1]，随后于8月11日修复完成，返回横田基地[1]。
这并非鱼鹰运输机在日本的孤立事件。该机型近年来事故频繁，横田基地的鱼鹰运输机在2026年2月和5月分别在岩手县花卷机场和神奈川县厚木基地发生过类似紧急着陆事故[1]。此外，2023年11月驻日美军一架鱼鹰坠海，机上8人全部死亡[1]。频繁的安全事件引发了当地民众的持续抗议[1]。
A V-22 Osprey transport aircraft operated by US forces stationed in Japan made an emergency landing at Utsunomiya Airport in Tochigi Prefecture on August 10 due to cockpit instrument failure [1]. The aircraft, which belongs to Yokota Air Base, was repaired and returned to its home base on August 11 [1].
This incident marks another in a series of emergency landings involving the Osprey fleet at Yokota Air Base [1]. Similar incidents occurred at Hanamaki Airport in Iwate Prefecture in February 2026 and at Atsugi Base in Kanagawa Prefecture in May 2026 [1]. The pattern of mishaps has drawn growing concern from local residents, as the aircraft type has experienced frequent accidents in recent years [1]. A particularly tragic incident occurred in November 2023 when a US military Osprey crashed into the sea, resulting in the deaths of all eight personnel on board [1].
