The 723rd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron HH-60G Pave Hawk mobility and support section at Moody AFB, Ga., has purchased a generator-equipped 28-foot race trailer, which they have fitted with all the tools and equipment they need to speed deployments for exercises, stateside contingencies, and disaster relief operations.
