The eight UH-1 helicopters and 83 pilots, maintainers, and support personnel dispatched from Air Force Space Command units to Columbus AFB, Miss., over a two-day period flew 41 search-and-rescue sorties and delivered almost 23,000 pounds of supplies along the Gulf Coast. It was “the single largest deployment of AFSPC helicopters anywhere, ever,” said Maj. Gen. Frank G. Klotz, 20th Air Force commander. The Huey’s usual job is to provide security for the nation’s ICBM force.
The Air Force wants to promote working out, healthy eating habits, and a holistic approach to well-being for both Airmen and Guardians as part of a new “Culture of Fitness” initiative announced Sept. 18.
