459AS adds hoist to airlift capabilities
Staff Sgt. Nicholas Poe, 459th Airlift Squadron special missions aviator instructor and UH-1N flight engineer, uses a hoist to raise into the aircraft at Yokota Air Base, Japan, Feb. 23, 2016. For 459 AS’ special missions aviators to become certified to operate the hoist, SMA instructors with the 512th Rescue Squadron, Kirtland AFB, New Mexico, and the 36th RQS, Fairchild AFB, Washington, arrived at Yokota to train alongside flight engineers.
