This is a video sent to me by one of my friends in New Orleans. The victim had his foot almost amputated by a bull shark. My Friend, Jeff, was one of my students. I met him when he was just a deck ape on my old ship and I was part of the aviation detachment on a cruise to the South Pacific. I would hold sessions up in the hanger when anyone interested in going into aviation could come up and ask questions, look at anything and actually touch the helicopter. When I was just a deck ape, the hanger was not very welcoming so I tried to change that paradigm. This hoist was not too difficult as the seas are not rough and the weather was calm, but that speed boat was pretty tiny (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I am pretty proud of Jeff, he has become an outstanding airman. Makes me miss my old job, a lot. Oh ya, he is doing my old job operating the hoist and controlling the helo on scene. He is not the swimmer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
