Blackhawk Mission a Success

Lots of excitement at our helipad today as we watched the National Guard do their stuff...and boy, did they do it well! The mission was executed beautifully as they sling lifted the disabled MedFlight helicopter from the hospital's rooftop safely to our ground helipad.
After transferring the helicopter, the Blackhawk then made a final trip to the rooftop pad to retrieve the aircraft's rotor blades (see below).
See video below from the mission:



And finally, the helicopter is taken into the hangar for repairs:
