"Little Travel Bug Helicopter.
Oct 22, 2007. Went with Native Air from Mesa to San Carlos, AZ to pick up a heart patient and fly him back to Phoenix. Not much to see, it was a night flight.
Oct. 25th, 2007: Spent the day with the Arizona Dept of Public Safety helicopter.
In the morning we assisted the SWAT team as they executed a search warrent. We provided aerial coverage and used our camera and microvave downlink to let the ground crews see the pictures from the sky. We were also there for medical, in case anything bad happened.
Later in the day we flew the area from Florence to Oracle Junction to look for a man in a truck that was missing. He has Alzheimers and may be lost. While we were searching, he was found in the Globe area, so we went back to base.
We did another SWAT mission later that night in Maricopa and then we were done for the night. Another great day flying over beautiful Arizona.
