The 129th rescue wing pulled me off the deck of a cruise ship with a life threatening injury. Matt and Dale were the P.J.'s that repelled onto the ship while the rest of the air crew flew off for an in flight re fueling. God Bless all of you for saving my life.
I had intended to include it, but the footage from my little handheld camera was incredibly shaky. It looked more like the camera man having seizure than really fun maneuvers.
soo cool! getting shipped out for training jan 11, flight engineer for this!

I always wanted to fly inside a pave hawk. I see them all the time when I am at Patrick's Air Force Base.

wow, I didn't know that the pilots went through all that same training. HOOAH!

@spamhappy That's to become a PJ. Pilots don't go through all that, just regular pilot training and SERE.

It's easy! Just pilot a boat out to international waters and have a life-threatening emergency. Or maybe enlist.
