Japan has grounded its F-15 fighters for the second time in three months after a fuel tank and parts of a mock missile fell off a jet on a training mission, officials said Saturday.
Japan Air Self-Defense Force officials said that the flight suspension involves all missions except emergency scrambles and will last until the safety of Japan's 202 F-15 fighters has been confirmed.
No one was injured in Friday's incident near Komatsu base in western Japan and the pilot landed safely. In July, Japan's F-15s were grounded after one of the jets crashed into the East China Sea.
The latest incident comes as Tokyo is moving ahead to replace its aging fighters.
The 350-pound (155-kilogram) tank, which was empty, and parts of the dummy missile detached and fell from the plane as it was nearing the field for landing. The debris fell on 10 locations, including a sewage plant.

Damaged no doubt during that last run-in with Godzilla.
Ya thought Fukishima was bad, these people are as dumb as an MSNBC Host.
What about if the Japanese spear the hippies and we pay the Japanese $27 mil?
The Japanese can legally take a certain number of whales per treaty, so what they are doing is not illegal.
The hippies, however, are violating the law. Glad to see what side you are on-terrorists!
Maybe if they didn’t do it in floating whale processing factories it might seem fair(er). “Here’s your kayak, here’s your harpoon, no go git me some blubber, Hogiesan”.
It is normal to checkout the seeker heads on your sidewinders, it isn't normal to pull the triggers, it is really bizarre to have the weapon launch when the master arm is safety wired in the "safe" position.
The hippies, however, are violating the law. Glad to see what side you are on-terrorists!
Just because I'm happy the Brewers won and the Phillie's lost I will respond to you without the wrath of God.
Hi, I'm Dengar01, I am part of a ping list called Whale Wars Ping list otherwise known as "Hippies Failing Badly" where we ridicule and mock the hippies of Sea Shepherd.
The majority probably 98% would like to see the hippies sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
Dengar01 <--- opposes whaling, opposes hippies so I am an anti-anti-whaling person. Why you ask? Well instead of using the standard "Whales are mammals, whales have bigger brains than humans, every whale is smarter than a democrat." I will give you the answer my dad gives me when I ask a question that he doesn't have a clear answer on, "Why does a dog lick his _____s?"
So, I am now a terrorist according to who, you? Go research every post I've made in OVER 10 YEARS I HAVE POSTED ON FREE REPUBLIC and please point out where I support hippies, terrorists or hippie terrorists?
You prove me that, you can have my house, in the meantime go crawl back in the hole you came out of.
For anyone else who would like to be added to the Whale Wars Ping list where we "MOCK AND RIDICULE PAUL WATSON AND SEA SHEPHERD please contact Dengar01 or Pan_Yan
Yes. He gets out of the cockpit with his Leatherman and walks the plane tightening every bolt and screw he can find... then he kicks the tires and gets back in.
The President from my State is created the 13th Amendment.
So since you are living in 1860 and the wonderful years of James Buchanan. The North won, WW1 and WW2 were won, Cold War over, whaling ended throughout world commercially except for Japan, even though they lost tens of thousands of lives, BILLIONS OF BILLIONS of dollars and still whale because of pride.
Seeing your little map I completely understand your position, I've heard throughout my life, "The South shall Rise Again!!!"
Mr. Packrat35 it ain't gonna happen. I respect your relatives who died during the Civil War but that was 150 years ago. Actually 151 years.
As a Yankee from Illinois why do so many like you in the South have such hatred in your hearts? Sherman marched to Savannah in 1864 GET OVER IT!!!
Hell, Maybe Perry had it right, Texas should secede you can join Ciudad Juarez and enjoy true paradise.
Mexican gangs and uneducated hicks = The New World Leader!
Thanks for the idea I'll contact MS13, they can contact the Perrybots and maybe Mr. Packrat35 can be the Baghdad Bob of TEXICO CIUDADJARUZEELPASO!
What did we ever do before the invention of the Leatherman?
Maybe someone pushed that red button that was marked, “Do not push”.
What a silly little bitch you are.
My relatives were not even in this country till after the Civil War and they lived in Penn till after WW2.
My daughter is black, so that little racist tirade kind of pisses me off.
I also do not support illegals.
By the way, kiss my ass!
You call me a bitch... fine after the White Sox Season I'll take that as a complement.
I didn't say you supported illegals however, your Governor who you think is God supports illegals. Guess what. I have an MBA. I didn't get it via La Raza or because my name was Ozzie Guillen. I paid HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS which not one dime I took from the state, ACLU, a bank, charity, church, Hitler Youth Movement, ect...
Also you debased your entire argument by your last sentence. The only reason I'm up at 2:40 AM is I have the FLU and cannot sleep so to use an overly used phrase, "I eat folks like you for breakfast."
You may be a lackluster FReeper because I still have democrat trolls targeting me from a thread I made in May!!!
Anyways, thanks for calling me a racist, please do a history search on my posts and see that I have been supporting Herman Cain for months, my BLOOD cousin is black and he's probably the closest cousin I have in terms of friendship, yet I'm a racist???
That, is Liberalism 101. Lose an argument bring up Hitler or racism to counter!!! Clearly you have not had an education in either the undergrad or graduate levels otherwise you would not sound like a Jerry Springer guest.
DJ ever hear of this rat I'm pining you? I'm suddenly a racist (even though I have a cousin by blood who is black
Well hell you can read his nonsense. Maybe once the moron loses a friend or relative to illegals like you and I he'll wake up, otherwise he's living in an alternate universe.
I just watched the entire documentary "Civil War" by Ken Burns (who is not a Grand Wizard of the KKK) and what now he and I are both racists?
Not to offend my good FRiends in Tennessee but I hope you are simply just a taster at the JD plant in Lynchburg.
I spent about 15 hours watching how the Union fought to free slaves, and I also told you my closest cousin is black and we are related by blood and you call me racist because you had a child with an African American woman?
How is that different than me being tied by blood to someone of a different race. Maybe it's just because I live in Illinois and I don't focus on race 24/7 like you do. It's like the famous line, "My best friend is black!"
Since you come off like a genius did you tutor inner city black students during college like I did? Did you help support with only the funds of ONE church in ALL of the US of funding a Village in west Ghana and making sure that village had access to water, an education, ect...?
I'd put my house on the line to tell me you will probably not even respond to this post.
So call me a b%$^$ call me a racist but put your money where your mouth is. And I am not trying to bribe my way into Heaven. At the end of the day it actually feels good to help those who need help, you from your vitriol posts sound like a bitter person soured in agony, I only pray that your life gets better.........
after a fuel tank and parts of a mock missile fell off
Hate when that happens.
