Numazu Beach Landing, a 459th AS first
Two UH1N helicopters, assigned to the 459th Airlift Squadron, conduct landing maneuvers at Numazu Beach, Japan, for the first time Feb. 18, 2021. Specific flight and landing procedures had to be considered because of beach’s rocky and sandy terrain. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Tyrone Thomas)
