On 30 May 2022, a 5-meter-long metal tank was discovered on a beach in Higashi Village, alarming residents with its stench of fuel. Only after its discovery did the US military report that the tank had been jettisoned the previous day by a US Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet flying off Okinawa’s coast. Soon after the admission, service members arrived to retrieve the tank – but the US military provided no further information about the circumstances of the incident.
The pilot dropped the plane’s external fuel tank May 29, 2022, about 15 nautical miles off Okinawa in international waters as a safety measure before landing at Kadena Air Base, the Navy said at the time.
