U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. John L. Dolan shakes hands with Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Warrant Officer Fumio Ootaki, first, JMSDF Chief Petty Officer Yukihiro Kamouchi, second, and JMSDF Chief Petty Officer Noriaki Tazaki, third, with Air Rescue Squadron 71, during a visit to the JMSDF hangar at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, Sept. 29, 2015. Dolan took time during his visit to the station to reconnect with the Japanese service members who saved his life over two decades ago. While serving as an F-16 instructor pilot, flight examiner, and assistant chief of standards and evaluation at Misawa Air Base, Dolan departed that day for the Coronet West 30 deployment to Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla., when a KC-135 Stratotanker unexpectedly struck him from below during collision avoidance maneuvers.
