The Tokyo Metropolitan Park Association is apologizing after taking flak over an article in a metropolitan park’s monthly newsletter that gushed over low-altitude flights by U.S. military aircraft and inferred that the association tolerates them.
“There was a misleading statement in the (newsletter) that suggests we tolerate low-altitude flights and other practices, and we apologize deeply for inconveniencing local residents distressed about the noise and other issues,” the association said in a statement posted on its website on Feb. 22.
The association, which is an extra-departmental body of the Tokyo metropolitan government, has retracted the issue of the newsletter and is asking subscribers to discard their copies.
