The fuselage of a U.S. Coast Guard MH-60T "Jayhawk" helicopter that crashed, March 3, approximately 50 miles east of Salt Lake City is lowered on to a fladbed trailer and readied for transport. The Colorado National Guard conducted daring three-hour high-altitude salvage operation on behalf of the U.S. Coast Guard using a CH-47 Chinook helicopter and a specialized 150-foot long remote controlled cable. Soldiers on the ground rigging team fought blinding snow from the 75 m.p.h. rotor wash above them to secure the 15,700-pound fuselage for aerial extraction from the crash site to a nearby parking lot in the Soapstone Basin area of Utah.
