Christopher Rector, 459th Airlift Squadron flight engineer, hoisted 350 lbs. during a hoist training exercise at Yokota Air Base, Japan, Feb. 22, 2016. The 459th AS recently improved their search and rescue capabilities by outfitting two Hueys with new rescue hoists. Previously, without the hoist, conducting rescues in small, tight areas wasn’t feasible. Now, 459th AS aircrew can conduct any type of search and rescue scenario throughout the Kanto Plains.
