Airmen on the go for Shuttle Discovery
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. - Airmen from the 920th Rescue Wing out of nearby Patrick Air Force base, land this HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter at the shuttle landing facility here in preparation for Space Shuttle Discovery's last lift off. The Reserve Airmen provide NASA space shuttle support operations. Not only are the reservists on alert during lift off charged with rescuing the astronauts, but remain on alert until the shuttle returns safely with the astronauts on board.
