It looks like Air Force PJs (Pararescue Jumpers) will be on the ANG helicopters. I thought they would send a team from Kirtland in NM. The PJs are uniquely qualified for this type of in-air rescue. Their motto: We do these things “That others may live”.

How would a parachutist help? What would they do?

The two things would be moving at completely different speeds.

I have full faith this little man will land safely.

Thank you, Jesus, and the men whom you command.
