Airmen at Yokota Air Base in Japan took their UH-1N Hueys for their final flights this past week. After more than four decades of flying that model, the Air Force’s 374th Airlift Wing is retiring the aging helicopters.
On Saturday, the 459th Airlift Squadron flew the helicopter over Tokyo one last time, in what the Air Force calls a “fini flight.” The helicopters will officially phase out of service at the base in September, after 45 years, but the last flight is complete.

Videos on this intro were made by me in Hong Kong in 2019. I was preparing to make a documentary about the CCP capture of Hong Kong. The Chinese kicked me out of Hong Kong. Denied my re-entry.
This happened just as plandemic attack began. The ANTIFA riots and so much more. All part of The Great Game.
During the struggle in Hong Kong, much of the munitions used against freedom fighters came from United States.
These are legit munitions.
The U.S. Air Force, British Royal Air Force and Royal Norwegian Air Force scrambled multiple P-8 anti-submarine warfare aircraft in the High North on August 27 in response to the presence of a Russian submarine, which posed a potential threat to the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford in the region. Norwegian P-8s operating from Evenes Air Base had by the following day carried out three sorties, while British P-8s flying from RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland had completed eight missions, with an unknown number of flights made by U.S. Navy P-8s.
Following confirmation in the final week of July that Russia’s first modernised Kirov Class cruiser, the Admiral Nakhimov, and been re-floated, and the subsequent confirmation that the vessel had begun sea trials in the White Sea, questions have increasingly been raised regarding how the world’s largest and most heavily armed warship may be utilised in the defence of the Russian Arctic. The cruiser has long been expected to play a particularly large role in the region under the Navy’s Northern Fleet.
The guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Erie is en route to the southern Caribbean near Venezuela, a Navy official confirmed to Task & Purpose on Saturday. It is the latest in several Navy ships deployed to the region this month in a buildup of American forces.
The USS Lake Erie, a Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser, was spotted passing through the Panama Canal by reporters from Agence France-Presse on Friday night, heading to the Caribbean. It is set to join three Aegis-class guided-missile destroyers and the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group already in the waters near Venezuela.

The Air Force command responsible for operating and securing nuclear weapons has resumed use of the Sig Sauer M18 pistol after completing inspections prompted by the fatal shooting of an airman at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming.
The Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) grounded its 7,970 pistols on July 21, a day after 21-year-old Airman 1st Class Brayden Lovan died from a gunshot wound. Investigators initially examined the possibility of an accidental discharge, but after a comprehensive inspection, AFGSC has cleared the M18 for continued use.
