For KISAR’s April training we teamed up with the USCG Air Station to practice basket hoists, trail line tending, and helicopter ingress/egress. The air crew was very generous with their time and it was a fun training. Familiarizing KISAR members with working under a machine like an MH-60 Jayhawk is an important component of deployments and SAR missions when we coordinate with the USCG.
