    HOHENFELS, Germany- The JMRC Falcon team is taking the highest levels of precaution to ensure the health and safety of pilots and passengers in their aircraft. The Falcon team is JMRC's aviation observer coach/trainer team. The team was tasked with transporting passengers and equipment to various locations during the initial quarantine and now is responsible for transporting COVID-19 tests for soldiers taking part in exercise Saber Junction 20.

    “We were tasked to install face masks inside of all the flight masks inside the aircraft as well as Plexiglas panels separating the pilots and the passengers,” stated Sgt. Kimberly Pace, a crew chief for the Black-hawk mechanics on the Falcon team.

    The Falcon team was determined that COVID-19 would not get in the way of their mission during exercise Saber Junction 20.

    “We ensured that the proper COVID-19 protective measures were being taken by each flight crew and that after every flight the Falcon team made sure all used aircraft were disinfected and cleaned for the next use to continue to ensure the health of both pilot and passengers," stated Aviation Officer Capt. Sean Boniface.

    He added that the team is tasked with missions frequently throughout the exercise so the consistent disinfecting was very important. While their mission during the exercise is providing air support, COVID-19 safety measures and practices remain the top priority.
