MARINE CORPS AIR STATION IWAKUNI, Japan -- Due to budgetary uncertainty U.S. military airshows have been cancelled throughout the world. We understand the importance of Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni's Friendship Day to the local community. Air station leaders have applied for an exception to policy. However, at this time we do not have resolution on the exception to policy, and the possibility of cancelation of Friendship Day exists this year. We will have clarity on the issue in upcoming weeks. More information will be available at our Friendship Day press conference April 15. We regret any inconvenience this causes to our friends and neighbors.
