Donor Caption Description
After a successful rescue the ground crews for the 37th ARRS (Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron) often would "hose down" the flight crews coming back into the squadron area. The fire hoses insured the flight crew got pretty wet even if they tried to avoid it. At least a successful save! The aircraft was an HH-53 Super Jolly Green Giant helicopter.
