End of an era: Final UH-1N Huey departs Yokota Dec. 8, 2025

U.S. Air Force Airmen from the 730th Air Mobility Squadron and the 22nd Airlift Squadron from Travis Air Force Base, Calif., load UH-1N Hueys on to a C-5M Super Galaxy assigned to the 22nd AS at Yokota Air Base, Japan, Dec. 3, 2025. The Huey has supported Yokota since 1980, and its retirement aligns with the Air Force's effort to modernize rotary-wing capabilities to meet today's operational demands.
