A U.S. Marine Corps AV-8B Harrier with Marine Attack Squadron (VMA) 542 closes in on landing at Chitose Air Base, Japan, Dec. 8, 2016. Four of VMA-542’s Harriers are conducting daily flight training out of Chitose as part of the Aviation Training Relocation Program. The ATR is an effort to increase operational readiness between the U.S. Marine Corps and the Japan Air Self Defense Force, improve interoperability and reduce noise concerns of aviation training on local communities by disseminating training locations throughout Japan.
