Until this edition, there was a description of a "Showa Air Base to the northwest".

However, the existence of such air base is doubtful. Although I searched for the air base online in Japanese, I could not find any trace of it.

In this [1] newsletter from the Musashimurayama City Museum dated 2008, there is a part describing a large IJA aviation complex centered by Tachikawa AB and containing the factory of Showa Aircraft Industry, Yokota AB, and other aircraft manufacturing plants and military facilities.

quote of whole paragraph: これらの施設は立川陸軍飛行場 (現陸上自衛隊立川駐屯地及び昭和記念公園等)を中心とする大規模な陸軍航空施設の一部で、昭島市の昭和飛行機や福生・ 立川 ・昭島 ・羽村 ・瑞穂 ・武蔵村山各市町に跨る多摩陸軍飛行場(現米軍横田基地)なども含まれ、大規模な爆撃を受けた東大和市の日立航空機立川工場 もその一つでした。)

This was the closest I could get so I have changed the description to match with it.

Deleted parts on the visits of the then SecDef James Mattis and President Donald Trump. Such visits are not uncommon (At least two instances in 2019) so I believe that individual visits should not be included. (It might be a good idea to add somewhere that US officials traveling to Tokyo often use this base though.)

Y'all need to recheck your active dates for the 40th Fighter Interceptor Squadron. I was an Air traffic Controller in the Tower from '64 till late '65 and the 40th was there when I got there, and the "Duces" were still there when I left. I was also working in the Control Tower when the RB-47 came back shot to pieces by the North Koreans. The 40th scrambled that day also. Leswallace43 (talk) 05:29, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you can provide WP:RS it can be changed, if not, it won't be. Mztourist (talk) 12:07, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
