Aviation Week Heroism Award - whoa


Recommended Posts

Aviation Week magazine has presented its 2014 Laureates for achievements in aviation, but to me the biggie was its Heroism Award.

All I can say is, whatever these guys get paid it's not near enough.

Aviation Week Heroism Award

In February 2013, the Royal Canadian Air Force Rescue 912 Crew flew a CH-149 Cormorant helicopter for 2 mi. at a 100-ft. hover, backward, into a raging blizzard with winds up to 80 kph (50 mph), to rescue three hunters stranded in the remote reaches of Newfoundland. All three survived.
