22 North Carolina National Guard Aviators joined first responders from several local and state agencies for North Carolina Helicopter Aquatic Rescue Team training at Weldon, North Carolina, May 19 - 20, 2021.
The training at the rapids of the Roanoke River simulated swift water rescue missions.
“NC HART partners conduct training rescues over land, water, tree, and building ten times a year on average to prepare for Hurricane season,” said Army Lt. Col. Benny Collins, NCNG State Army Aviation Officer.
Before mission, NCNG Aviators and civilian aviation staff swarmed over the 64-foot-long twin engine UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter preparing it for water rescue. Seats and doors are prepped to allow for civilian first responders to be lowered by hoist.
