Japan and the US are considering constructing a floating runway off Japan to alleviate concerns over noise pollution generated by night practice of US Navy airplanes, according to the Yomiuri Shimbun. The runway would be about 2.5 miles from Iwakune Marine Corps Air Station, which is 440 miles southeast of Tokyo. Construction costs for the project are estimated between $3.6 and $4.5 billion.
A massive contract to manage thousands of PCS moves failed because U.S. Transportation Command did not adequately oversee the results, according to the Government Accountability Office.
