Continuing aircrew training includes time in the flight simulator. During the early and mid-1980s, the pilots and weapon systems officer (WSOs) of the 199th Fighter Squadron used the F-4C simulator. Among the simulator section maintenance staff were (L-R) Richard Kudo, Gary Fujii, and an unidentified airman.

In gyms, basements and spare bedrooms across the country, weights are clanking, pulses are pounding, muscles are straining. Millions of people, many of them over 50, are pumping iron, stretching heavy-duty resistance bands, doing pushups, lunges and squats.
If you’re one of these dedicated individuals, you’ve already experienced the many benefits of strength training, and you’ll want to keep doing it for as long as possible. In this article, we’ve got advice from three experts to help you do just that.

The Hawaii Air National Guard’s 154th Wing executed a first-of-its-kind exercise partnering with the Nevada Air National Guard, 15th Wing, and 354th Fighter Wing Airmen March 3-6.
The exercise name, Ho’oikaika, originates from the Hawaiian language, meaning to strengthen and to encourage, as it challenged total force Airmen to mobilize and generate stealth airpower from three locations throughout the multi-island state.

Although you may still be focused on filing your 2021 tax return, it’s never too early to start thinking about next year’s return. Proper tax planning requires an awareness of what’s new and changed from last year — and there are plenty of tax law changes and updates taking effect in 2022 that you need to know about.
Most of the tax changes enacted by last year’s COVID-relief bill expired at the end of 2021. That means things like the child tax credit, child and dependent care credit, earned income credit and other popular tax breaks are different for the 2022 tax year than they were for 2021. Other 2022 tweaks are the result of new rules or annual inflation adjustments. But no matter how, when or why the changes were made, they can hurt or help your bottom line — so you need to be ready for them. To help you out, we pulled together a list of the most important tax law changes and adjustments for 2022 (some related items are grouped together).

On Saturday, March 15, 1969, the Hawaiʻi State Capitol building was dedicated in a ceremony attended by 3,500 people. Groundbreaking took place on November 10, 1965, after about half of the site was cleared of former structures.
ʻIolani Palace, the seat of the independent Hawaiian nation, was appropriated and declared the “Executive Building” after the overthrow of the monarchy in January 1893. It continued as the site for government activities until the construction of this larger, dedicated capitol building. After over a decade of debate and planning over the location and appearance, the site had been selected and architectural planning began by 1960. Leading the project was Cyril Lemmon of Belt, Lemmon, & Lo (Architects Hawaii Ltd.), in consultation with John Carle Warnocke & Associates of San Francisco.
When it opened, the Hawaiʻi State Capitol received national publicity for its modern design and unique references to forms familiar in Hawaiian landscape and material culture, which departed from the conventional model for United States government buildings.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly half of adults in the U.S. have hypertension.
Untreated hypertension increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, such as heart attack, stroke, heart failure, kidney disease, vision loss, and damage to blood vessels.
Dietary guidance on reducing blood pressure includes reducing salt intake. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend using herbs and spices instead of salt to flavor food.
Experts know less about the health effects of herbs and spices than they do about those of salt. However, some studies have shown that herbs and spices can reduce lipemia — the excess of lipids in the blood — hyperglycemia, and oxidative stress.
To dig a little deeper, researchers at Pennsylvania State University recently conducted a randomized controlled trial investigating the effect of longer-term consumption of herbs and spices on risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
They found that a higher level of herbs and spices in food reduced 24-hour blood pressure readings.

Lesson learned after wrapping up back-to-back exercises – No task is too big to handle when you have the right teams, the right skills and the right attitude.
In the midst of Pacific Raptor, the 154th Wing hosted it’s first iteration of exercise Ho’oikaika, alongside our friends from the 15th Wing, the Nevada Air National Guard, as well as the notorious Aggressors from the 354th Fighter Wing, in Alaska.
Ho’oikaika means to strengthen and encourage in the Hawaiian language, and that’s exactly what our forces did over the course of three days as they deployed air operations and various support functions in three separate locations.
These agile capabilities give warfighters the tools they need to defend the skies above and fortify our interoperability throughout the Total Force.
