Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) helicopter crews from Camp Higashi-Tachikawa had the opportunity to fly in two UH-1N helicopters from 459th Airlift Squadron on Jan. 29 to familiarize themselves with unit’s operating procedures.
During the flight, the JGSDF pilots observed several different formations such as staggered, combat cruise and combat spread, along with maneuvers like hook turns, check turns, digs and pinches.
