RfC: Should the following be added to the article immediately following the statement : ”One of the aircraft based at Atsugi at least since 1957[4] was the U-2 spy plane". <<Lee Harvey Oswald was stationed at the Naval Air Facility in Atsugi in 1957 and 1958, where he often plotted the course of the U-2 spy plane flights. In their briefings, Oswald and the other men were told that the U-2 was a top secret reconnaissance project which they were not to discuss with anyone outside their unit.>> "Oswald's Game". books.google.com.

Have previously added some information about Oswald being stationed there.--Josephus37 (talk) 12:02, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nov 02 1976 US Navy aircraft crash[edit]

I dispute the charge of contributor, ref 15, in article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_Air_Facility_Atsugi. The contributor would have been a toddler at the time his father was killed in the crash. As such, his knowledge is hearsay. I was on the inspection team and read the final report. The cause of the accident was found to be 'pilot error'. There were no defects of the aircraft found. There were but 3 lives lost. Pilot, Copilot and PO-2 R. Daniels the Aircrew. The aircraft did not crash short of the runway. It crashed about 500 yards off to the side of center. I don't want to cause anyone dismay. But it did not happen the way it is portrayed.
