An Alaska Army National Guard UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter based in Bethel, Alaska, lands in a flooded area to rescue two stranded hunters along the rapidly rising Gagaryah River approximately 200 miles from Bethel Sept. 16, 2024. The AKARNG received a request from the Alaska Rescue Coordination Center after the hunters used a satellite communications device to call the Alaska State Troopers for assistance. The aircrew flew the uninjured hunters safely back to Bethel. (Courtesy Photo)
