NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev.- Staff Sgt. Johann Schultz, an HH-60G Pavehawk helicopter aerial gunner with the 66th Rescue Squadron, makes final adjustments to his helmet prior to departing for a real-world rescue mission May 1. Four helicopters and approximately 24 Airmen from the 58th and 66th Rescue Squadrons deployed to assist in the search for a pilot and passenger who were aboard a motorized sailplane that disappeared from radar in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range near Mammoth Lakes, Calif., April. 24. The aircraft was flying between Tonopah, Nev., and Modesto, Calif., and a search began about an hour after the plane was overdue. As of April 30, the Civil Air Patrol and other agencies had flown more than 140 sorties in a 2,500 square-mile search area. The Air Force Rescue Coordination Center requested the assistance of the Nellis-based aircraft May 1, and within an hour of arriving on scene, the search ended when an HH-60 aircrew spotted and positively identified the missing aircraft.
