Military personnel from active, guard and reserve units performed numerous maneuvers and flight patterns along South Beach for thousands of spectators, even during rain.
“Participating in the Miami Beach air show was a great opportunity which showcased the Air Force’s might and capabilities, while telling people our story and remembering our fallen brothers and sisters in uniform, said Tech. Sgt. Sean Sylvia, pararescueman from the 306th Rescue Squadron in Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona.
Rescue Warriors from the 920th RQW demonstrated combat-search-and-rescue capabilities flying two HH-60G Pave Hawks over the Atlantic Ocean with Guardian Angel Airmen on board performing open-water rescue drills of isolated individuals.
The 920th RQW also had an HC-130P/N King tanker aircraft demonstrate aerial refueling with two HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters.
“This Memorial Day means even more to us since the recent passing of our brothers aboard Jolly 51, Sylvia added. “For some families, remembering those who aren’t with us anymore is an everyday occurrence. We will always remember their sacrifice.”
