Tech. Sgt. Michael Wright, 459th Airlift Squadron UH-1N Huey flight engineer, prepares stokes litter for hoisting at Yokota Air Base, Japan, Feb. 23, 2016. The 459th AS recently improved their search and rescue capabilities by outfitting two UH-1N 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.
