    Tech. Sgt. Christopher Rector, 459th Airlift Squadron flight engineer, supervises a UH-1 Huey lifting a testing weight during hoist training at Yokota Air Base, Japan, Feb. 22, 2016. The 459 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, 459 AS aircrew can conduct any type of search and rescue scenario throughout the Kanto Plains.
