Alaska Army National Guard rescues four boaters stranded on Kusk
Four individuals and their dog warm up under blankets in a UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter from 1st Battalion, 207th Aviation Regiment, Alaska Army National Guard, after the helicopter aircrew rescued them on the Kuskokwim River in western Alaska, May 10, 2021. The aircrew rescued the group after they became stuck on the river between Bethel and Kwethluk because of ice from break up blocking their egress. All four individuals and their dog were hoisted into the helicopter and transported back to Bethel safely. For this mission, the 207th AVN was awarded with four saves. (Courtesy photo by Spc.
