An Osprey aircraft departs from Iwakuni Air Base in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi prefecture, southern Japan, bound for Marine Corps Air Station Futenma in Okinawa, Monday, Oct. 1, 2012. Okinawans stage a rally because the Ospreys will be deployed to Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, which the U.S. and Japan decided to close more than a decade ago. The base has remained in operation because a replacement site hasn't been readied. (AP Photo/Kyodo News) JAPAN OUT, MANDATORY CREDIT, NO LICENSING IN CHINA, FRANCE, HONG KONG, JAPAN AND SOUTH KOREA
