Petty Officer 2nd Class Jacob Lee, a flight mechanic aboard an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter, secures the winch line hook to the top of a hoist basket in preparation for lowering it to the 47-foot Motor Life Boat below in Tillamook Bay, Ore., Nov. 21, 2018.
Lee will guide the empty basket down to the crew of the MLB in the same way he would to a vessel in an actual distress situation.
