As
promished once more the Cougar, friendly in hangar and landing assault
troops in the field |

|
A
view on the digitalised cockpit, dashboard, and inside seats for troopers |
|
|
|
Very
capable of carrying cargo, (border) patrol, search and rescue, providing
food where needed |
|
|
|
Providing
mountains hut, climbers camps, and transporting construction material to
high places |
|
The
Cougar is a real 'Can Do It All' machine ! |
i |
SEARCH
AND RESCUE ! |
|
Let's
be frank: To fly like this (above), you're not only pilot but also artist
!! |
|
This
statement also goes for the rescuers and medics who fly more often outside
than inside... |
|
Saving
people sometimes needs belief, a hurry, accuracy but always enormous
skills ! |
|
The
hoist operator has a tremendous responsability, others rely on him blindly
with their lives |
|
|
|
That
goes for (co)pilots as well, if it concerns saving lives or put away a
wreck |
|
|
|
Sometimes
they operate along steep mountainsides and rocks where a spacer is needed |
|
In
this kind of situations victims can get into panic or being in shock which
makes it extra difficult... |
|
|
|
...
to get the victim inside the helicopter. But also a mountainpeak requires
100 % craftmanship |
|
|
|
These
men don't doubt or think on own safety, it has become a second nature not
to make mistakes |
|
|
|
To
do all possible to get victims stabilised and rescue them even out of
narrow gaps |
|
And
that is why these men and women deserve a medal even if it's a virtual one
right now ! |
WELL
DONE, ALL OF YOUR TEAM AND COLLEGUES EVERYWHERE ! |
