SOG Airmen open two strategic runways for relief operations
SENDAI AIRPORT, Japan -- Staff Sgt. Christopher Allen, a special operations weather specialist from the 320th Special Tactics Squadron, scans the airfield here prior to conducting a weather observation here March 16. Sudden snow and low visibility threatened to prevent aircraft from landing at the airfield. A team from the 320th Special Tactics Squadron out of Kadena Air Base, along with Japanese emergency management organizations, cleared a section of the runway and re-established the control tower to direct flights in and out of the airfield.
