Fisherman draws on PW who happen to be Airmen

<< < (8/8)

Ram Ringer:
I don't  know if this was one of he scheduled training excerises or not, but I do know from working with the folks at the Air and Army Guard base here in Lincoln that they do conduct these excersizes on a fairly routine basis. Normally they use helicopters to snatch downed airmen that may have ejected from aircraft and parachuted into the water. The article says that they were from Offutt so for right now I will take their word for it, but either way the helicopters they use for this search and rescue are stationed here in Lincoln, and the closest lake large enough for this type of work is Branched Oak. I would rather they drive a few airmen from Offutt over here than spend the extra cost of fuel to fly the helios to Offutt. As for the news report I thought they originally said he was from out of state when they first reported this on the media.
Now keep in mind here that I have no actual information on this incident other than I have heard in the media. The info I wrote here is from working with these guys on a daily basis.
