Wasn't there a big stink in Japan once when B-52s from Guam safe-haven'd
('phoon evaced) at Kadena on Okinawa? This would've been the late 70s or
early 80s..

First time I know of was July 1965.


Then the incident I'm thinking of was probably the early 80s. The
communist in the country were acting up and promoting more anti-American
events than ever before. World-wide the anti-nuke movement was big so I
can see many Japanese people getting outraged at the B-52s around then.
