Kadena supports commercial aircraft in flight emergency

Senior Airman James Carson, 18th Operations Support Squadron airfield manager, ensures agencies respond to a Boeing 747 parked on the flight line of Kadena Air Base, Japan, June 6, 2012. Airmen from the 18th OSS, 733rd Air Mobility Squadron and 18th Operations Group assisted the aircraft after it experienced an in-flight medical emergency. The units provided maintenance, refueling and other ground support services. Last month, Kadena Airmen assisted two civilian aircraft originally bound for Naha. Kadena Air Base is a divert location for Naha airfield and is occasionally used when weather or other situations prevent aircraft from landing at Naha. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Staff Sgt.
