U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Frankie Harper, 79th Rescue Squadron loadmaster, observes as a HH-60G Pavehawk helicopter from the 55th RQS refuels en route to a Venezuelan fishing boat with two critically burned sailors off the Pacific Coast of Mexico May 5, 2014. During the initial operation to deliver Guardian Angels and medical equipment, Airman Harper was essential to the off-loading of two Rigging Alternate Method Zodiac packages two days earlier. Airmen from the 563rd Rescue Group flew in a 79th RQS HC-130J Combat King II aircraft for nearly 11 hours, to parachute Guardian Angel teams near the ship, with two inflatable zodiac boat packages and medical equipment, so that they could deliver lifesaving care and stabilize the injured sailors.
