A South Carolina Army National Guard LUH-72A Lakota utility helicopter assigned to the “Raiders” of A Co., 2-151st Security and Support Aviation Battalion, flies over Edisto Island in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma continental landfall, South Carolina, September 12, 2017. The flight was part of a larger damage-assessment mission flown by the National Guard crew in support of the S.C. Department of Transportation. The LUH-72A is a multi-mission, military, aircraft providing flexible response capabilities to Homeland Security and local authorities during emergencies. The helicopter can perform search and rescue operations, hoist extraction, water drops over wildfires, reconnaissance and assessment, and medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) missions, and it has been a critical asset during the S.C. Flood, North Carolina-South Carolina wildfires, Hurricanes Matthew and Irma, and any other S.C. emergency since 2013. (U.S. Army National Guard courtesy Video by Sgt. Ken Burton)
