U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Blake Jassen, 36th Airlift Squadron loadmaster, poses for a photo with a community member at the 2024 Japanese-American Friendship Festival at Yokota Air Base, Japan, May 18, 2024. There were over 20 aircraft showcased at the festival ranging from helicopters, fighter jets, passenger and cargo airframes. Visitors were able to witness one of Yokota’s airlift missions in action - a static-line jump collaboration with Japan Ground Self-Defense Force special operations members during the festival.
