Some pictures from work



























Just thought I would send some pictures of what I am doing at work now. For those of you who don't know, I am now working as a Search and Rescue pilot in Yuma, Az. What we do when not actually rescuing anyone is train to rescue people. That is what is going on in the pictures. We are repelling a Corpsman (like an EMT) down to a simulated patient and the either hoisting (pulling him back into the helo) or short-hauling (simulated hoist failure where the Corpsman stays at the end of the rope and we move him to safety and then set him back down again). I will try to get some more dramatic pictures when I start working harder areas. The most difficult part is taking the pictures while flying....
