Lt. Col. Hise Gibson (left), commander, 3rd General Aviation Support Battalion, 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, congratulates Chief Warrant Officer 4 Jay Pofcher, battalion standardization pilot, after presenting him with the Broken Wing award during a ceremony on Fort Bragg, N.C., Feb. 16, 2017. The award recognizes an individual who demonstrates a high degree of professional skill while recovering from an in-flight failure or malfunction requiring an emergency landing. Pofcher executed an emergency landing from a hover following a sudden, uncontrollable right rotation, a rotation that resulted in three complete revolutions prior to a safe landing on Simmons Army Airfield, N.C., Sept. 10, 2015.
