Day two of ATR
Staff Sgt. Chad Smith, 67th Aircraft Maintenance Unit crew chief, buttons up his F-15 after a sortie Feb. 2. The sortie concluded the second successful day of operations at Hyakuri Air Base, about 70 miles north of Tokyo. Airmen from Kadena are operating from the Japanese base this week as part of an aviation training relocation. The ATR is designed to enhance the interoperability of U.S. and Japan air forces, while reducing flying activities at Kadena on Okinawa. (U.S. Air Force photo / 1st Lt. Bryan Bouchard)
