Yokota Boy Scouts fly high for aviation education

U.S. Air Force Maj Chase Hessman, 36th Airlift Squadron (AS) assistant director of operations, teaches Troop 5 Boy Scouts about the functions of a C-130J Super Hercules aircraft engine at Yokota Air Base, Japan, Dec. 20, 2023. The 36th AS helped the Boy Scouts earn their Aviation Merit Badges by teaching them about the different parts of a C-130J aircraft, how to read an aeronautical chart, and how the aircraft uses and counteracts different forces of nature while flying.
