WICHITA, Kansas – 451st ESC Soldiers supported and participated in the Frontiers in Flight Air Show on McConnell Air Force Base from Aug. 24-25, to help air show attendees stay cool and educate them on some of the abilities of the U.S. Army. We were joined by Soldiers from the 323rd Engineer Detachment Firefighters; Company B, 7th Battalion, 158th Aviation Regiment, 11th Expeditionary Combat Aviation Brigade; and HHC, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division.
Support was provided through cooling stations and water resources. HHC, 451st ESC provided three DRASHs and a water buffalo. Aid was coordinated with Air Force medics for those suffering from heat exhaustion.
Attendees enjoyed a large selection of military aerial and ground vehicles to interact with. Some of the Army vehicles displayed included a CH-47 Chinook, an HH-60 Black Hawk, and a M1142 Tactical Fire Fighting Truck. Soldiers enjoyed the opportunity to familiarize the public with Army equipment and their military occupational specialties.
Thank you, McConnell AFB, for inviting us out. We are looking forward to the next air show.
We appreciate the support from our Army partners in Kansas. You helped make the event more special with your presence.
