San Diego, United States - November 08, 2024 In a high-stakes operation over the Veteran's Day weekend, the U.S. Air Force's 129th Rescue Wing from the California Air National Guard executed a life-saving mission. On the evening of November 8, 2024, an HH-60G Pave Hawk rescue helicopter was dispatched approximately 400 miles off the coast of San Diego following an urgent call for medical evacuation. The rescue was necessitated when a fisherman aboard a chartered fishing vessel began showing alarming stroke-like symptoms. With no immediate medical facilities available in the deep sea, the situation quickly escalated into a matter of life and death. Hovering with precision over the turbulent waters, the skilled pilots of the 129th Rescue Squadron maneuvered their aircraft to facilitate the delicate transfer of the stricken fisherman. The operation, demanding both speed and precision, showcased the rigorous training and readiness of the Air National Guard to respond to emergencies far from shore.
