Abstract
- The article focuses on the rescue of an injured Burmese sailor in a cargo ship in the north-east Atlantic by the U.S. Air Force's 56th Rescue Squadron. It is stated that the two Pave Hawk helicopters used required three air-refuelings from tanker aircraft due to the long distances involved. The rescue team reportedly overcame the challenges of the ship's layout and communicating with its crew. The Pave Hawks' reliability, proven in the more than ten hour air operation, is also asserted.
