Imagine being stuck in a remote area and you're sick or injured and help is not getting to you for hours. Along comes Cal Fire's Helitac 106 with new hoist to pull you into their airship and get you to definitive help quickly. Todd and I were hoisted about 120 feet into the aircraft as a demonstration at a local training; we orbited the scene and then touched down in the clearing. What an amazing experience. Thanks to Cal Fire Helitac 106's crew out of Alma.
