paramedicpete Pooh-Bah Registered: 04/09/02 Posts: 1920 Loc: Frederick, Maryland	At the debrief for the rescue the other night (see “Very Luck”) the helicopter pilot said he had some photos that a news photographer sent him of a rescue we were on over a year and half ago at Raven Rock along the AT in VA. That is me being lowered: This is the patient being hoisted: Unfortunately, the patient did not survive. Pete

While offering saddened feelings for the lost patient, I do want to point out that you've got a beautiful bird you're flying on! _________________________ “Hiking is just walking where it’s okay to pee.

OldBaldGuy Geezer Registered: 09/30/01 Posts: 5695 Loc: Former AFB in CA, recouping fr...	Yup. As long as you KNOW that you are shooting at the guy who shot at you. And with a minigun, there better be a real good backstop behind your target, or there is no telling what might also get hit. Mini's can make a hole thru a lot of stuff... _________________________ OBG

Coastie09 I didn't float test my chipping hammer, honest Chief! Registered: 03/22/06 Posts: 104 Loc: Connecticut	Do you know if that helo is a varient of the Coast Guard's HH65 Dolphin? They look quite similar, and not many helos come with a rescue hoist... Here's a pic I took of a Dolphin as it took off from our flight deck...
