These interviews and B-Roll focus on the 172d Airlift Wing participating in a joint operation to transfer badly needed UH -60 Black Hawk helicopters to the devestated Island of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. The 172d AW flew to Nashville, Tennessee to pick up two Black Hawks from the 1-230th Aviation Regiment. Once the helicopters were loaded, the Air National Guard crew traveled with members from the Tennessee Army National Guard aviation regiment for the flight to St. Croix.
