106th Rescue Wing
Combat Search & Rescue Demonstration

2009 Jones Beach Airshow
Jones Beach State Park
Jones Beach, New York
Saturday May 23, 2009

IN THIS VIDEO, you will see rescue swimmers exit from the HC-130 Hercules and land in the water, followed by the HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopter deploying additional rescue swimmers and then picking up the swimmers.  The jumpers from the C-130 were to simulate downed pilots being rescued by the swimmers from the Pave Hawks.  The demo was performed well off show right because of the high winds.  Both the Hercules and the Pave Hawk are from the 106th Rescue Wing, New York ANG, based in Westampton, New York (about 45 minutes to the east by car).  The 106th provided the concluding act for the Saturday show (and quite possibly for the Sunday show, as I was not on the beach for Sunday).

I apologize for the quality of the video, as the high winds and cooler than expected temperatures caught me off-guard, and while dressed for summer-like weather, I was freezing, and the effects of that can be seen in the video (a lot of shake - similar to if I was shooting with the HC52, even though I was using the FX7).

Like what you've seen?  If you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take the time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .
