Demonstrating lowering the rescue swimmer into the water. I took this slide from the flight deck of USS Midway. Originally built for the US Navy as a SH-3A. Later converted to a SH-3G, and finally to a UH-3H. Retired on 8 July 2005. This photo is copyright © Bob Thomas, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
