The U.S. Air Force resumed flights of the HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter in Okinawa on Friday, saying they had found no abnormalities in other choppers of the same type following a fatal accident last week.
The cause of the Aug. 5 crash, which occurred on a mountin in U.S. Marine Corps Camp Hansen and killed one crew member, has yet to be identified.
Local governments and residents have been quick to voice their opposition to the resumption of flights.
