At the 180 position, I again told my student to extend downwind a bit, because I still was uncertain what the helo pilot was going to do on the runway. |
A corpsman on board the helo provided initial treatment as the victim was transported to a medical facility in Bahrain. |
On landing, the helo is automatically attached to the ship and the flight deck is a fury of movement with engines screaming and rotors turning. |
Thanks to a handful of hard-working technicians, the task group has another helo more eyes in the sky, and a longer reach. |
The equipment: Two MH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, named helo one and helo two. |
As mentioned, HELO elected its new Board of Directors at this year's conference. |
