Hello

00:09.430 --> 00:11.430
and welcome to around the Air Force

00:11.430 --> 00:13.570
recapitalization and modernization of

00:13.570 --> 00:15.737
the fleet is a high priority Air Force

00:15.737 --> 00:17.903
issue . The officer A C rainy shows us

00:17.903 --> 00:19.959
that process in action as Yokota Air

00:19.959 --> 00:23.560
base in Japan bids farewell to the C 21 .

00:23.640 --> 00:26.660
The C 21 is leaving behind the legacy

00:26.670 --> 00:29.830
more than 62,000 mishap three hours to

00:29.830 --> 00:31.997
virtually every country in the pacific

00:31.997 --> 00:34.052
since the aircraft arrived at Yokota

00:34.052 --> 00:36.630
Air base in 1985 . And Dakota residents

00:36.640 --> 00:38.640
bid farewell as captain Christopher

00:38.640 --> 00:41.160
Garnett takes the last C 21 on its

00:41.160 --> 00:43.438
final flight . Well , I'm a little sad .

00:43.438 --> 00:45.549
It was a little earlier than I wanted

00:45.549 --> 00:47.716
to leave Japan and really enjoy flying

00:47.716 --> 00:50.020
C 21 . Really enjoy living here Yokota

00:50.020 --> 00:51.909
and doing that . But it's kind of

00:51.909 --> 00:54.160
exciting to get to move on and it's

00:54.160 --> 00:56.430
exciting change for Dakota to get

00:56.430 --> 00:58.650
something news . I love to see 21 . It

00:58.650 --> 01:00.761
was an exciting airplane , really fun

01:00.761 --> 01:02.983
to fly . So it's a little sad to see it

01:02.983 --> 01:05.360
go but I'm excited to learn a new

01:05.360 --> 01:08.030
aircraft and continued the mission .

01:08.040 --> 01:10.870
Three C 12 J huron are replacing the

01:10.880 --> 01:14.000
four 59th airlift squadrons , four C 21 .

01:14.010 --> 01:16.440
But despite the decrease in number ,

01:16.450 --> 01:18.570
it's still increases the squadron's

01:18.570 --> 01:21.240
mission capabilities . It has the

01:21.240 --> 01:23.190
ability to move more people and

01:23.190 --> 01:26.720
equipment for any given sortie . It has

01:26.720 --> 01:28.776
the ability to go into some airfield

01:28.776 --> 01:30.942
that we weren't able to go into before

01:30.942 --> 01:33.860
with less runway required to land the C

01:33.860 --> 01:35.630
12 enhances Yokota's released

01:35.640 --> 01:38.100
capabilities as well and is overall

01:38.100 --> 01:40.260
more fuel efficient than the C 21 .

01:40.740 --> 01:43.450
While the C 21 legacy might be tough to

01:43.450 --> 01:46.640
beat . Only time will tell as podcast

01:46.650 --> 01:49.420
begins a new era with the C 12 Petty

01:49.420 --> 01:51.550
Officer , A C rainy Dakota Air Base ,

01:51.560 --> 01:54.410
