soldiers pinned down by a Viet Cong battalion of some 500 troops in April 1966. The exhibit also explores Piqua native William Pitsenbarger, a pararescueman who gave his life supporting a company of 134 U.S. That innovation led to bigger and better helicopters able to travel longer distances. Once thought impossible, pilots and civilian engineers at Wright-Patterson set the stage for showing that 'probe-and-drogue' refueling connections with helicopters could actually work, leading to the first helicopter in-flight refueling between a modified CH-3 and C-130 in 1966, according to the museum. It was the pararescue forces, the trained specialists who were able to be lowered down to rescue individuals, who had the medical training, and the pilots who knew how aircraft handled when hovering above mountains and water.'Īerial refueling of helicopters was invented at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Carnes noted, another strength giving the Air Force a leg up in perilous rescue missions. 'The Air Force became the primary rescue force in Southeast Asia. 'They were more equipped to handle those situations,' Carnes said. A combination of Army and Air Force crews tackled these tasks, with the Army relying on its skills in mobilization and insertion, and Airmen relying on training for specialized airborne and scuba operations. Initially, the Air Force was not the service of choice for such missions, Carnes said. Air Force officially opens a permanent exhibit devoted to combat search and rescue operations Saturday, exploring the premium the Air Force and its partners placed on the lives of soldiers and Marines.įound in the museum's second building, the exhibit shows how the Air Force became the primary service for search and rescue missions in the Vietnam War era, a pride of place that continues to this day, said museum research curator Bryan Carnes.

Always willing to make changes to suit your tastes/needs. It's hard to find a place that has consistently well cooked meals, but Dragon City is one.

Only because I have to give it a star to leave a review.

The only reason I didn't give 5 star is because they lack in customer service as far as. The portions were bigger than I expected.
