 AUSTIN, Texas -
On 17 February
six Apollo Composite Squadron members went
to Starflight landing zone training. This yearly event, that is put on
by the Austin Emergency Services' Motorcycle Special Events Team, took
place at Shoreline Church. Present were C/Amn Camron Condrey, C/A1C
Stephen Corley, C/Amn Erica Condrey, C/Amn Anna Haworth, 1st Lt Cheri Fischler,
Squadron Commander, and 2nd Lt Janet (Sue) Kristoffersen.
Five helicopters showed up for hands-on training, including Starflight,
DPS, and other medical responders. The cadets and senior members both
really enjoyed their being there. “When I saw the helicopters landing in
the parking lot, it really made it click in my mind about how they
interact with their surroundings," one of the cadets said after the
class.
During the class, the students learned about the conditions governing
the landing zone of a helicopter, response time, why you should call
medical support via the air, conditions within the helicopter, how many
people can get in the helicopter, and a lot more very useful
information.
All of the cadets and senior members passed the test and graduated from
the class. Everybody there had a great time.
