Aero-Linx: American Heroes Air
Show
Established in Los Angeles in 1992, the American Heroes Air Show
began as a grass-roots community effort to celebrate the dynamic
role of helicopters in law enforcement, fire service, search and
rescue, homeland security, communications and national defense.
Today, this non-profit event is offered in seven major U.S. cities,
enabling spectators from coast-to-coast the rare opportunity to
view advanced military and civilian helicopters and meet the pilots
who fly them.
"Aircrew training prior to deployment and supporting the
ground teams were good missions for our pilots and their crews
since the demand for CAP's ARCHER system increased... Our
pilots were training, reviewing tasks and completing skills needed
for aerial imaging in anticipation of the flooding."

of Civil Air Patrol, an auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, have
accumulated more than 100 hours of high-tech flying time in recent
days, supporting disaster relief efforts in the Red River Valley.
