I was involved in some of this at my previous place of employment. The details are correct-however what the article does not point out is that in the Tokoku region they are not really keen on US aircraft using anything but US military bases. A similar thing happened when a visting Admiral wanted to visit Misawa when its runway was closed. The JMSDF really was not cooperative about using one of its bases. Then there was the time the city of Sapporo charged a huge landing fee for a US aircraft............... Took 6 months to get the money back. Wow!

The courtesy visit was nixed, so the need to use the civilian airport was extinguished. It's funny to, as Aomori apparently has excellent relations with its own SDF bases and has one of the highest ratios of "soldiers" per civilians in Japan. As I understand it, no.
