🇯🇵 Atsugi Emergency Airstrip

Naval Air Facility Atsugi (NJA, RJTA), the primary airfield associated with the Atsugi area, is an active joint Japan-US naval air base located in Yamato and Ayase, Kanagawa, Japan. It was originally constructed in 1938 by the Imperial Japanese Navy and played a significant role during World War II. Following Japan's surrender, General Douglas MacArthur notably landed at Atsugi on August 30, 1945, to accept the surrender. After being refurbished for military air traffic during the Korean War, it became a major naval air base during both the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Since 1972, the base has been jointly operated by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and the US Navy, though the fixed-wing aircraft squadrons of Carrier Air Wing Five (CVW-5) relocated to Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni in 2017-2018, leaving primarily helicopter squadrons at Atsugi.
