In this photo taken on Sept. 15, 2010, Uotsuri Jima in Japanese and Diaoyu Dao in Chinese, one of main islands among the islets of Senkaku in Japanese and Diaoyu in Chinese, is seen from a patrol aircraft P3C of Japan Maritime Self-Defense Forces as it files over the water in the East China Sea  during a press tour arranged by Japan's Defense Ministry.
