Pilot Helps In Round Up Near Lookout Island
Cherry Point helicopter pilot Captain Kenneth Mathewson assisted a local horse round up by hovering the Whirlybird over a wild stallion to attract its attention. Owner Claude Brown used the opportunity to lasso the horse, later gifting Mathewson a 10 month old colt. The captain plans to relocate the colt to Connecticut after active duty ends, hoping ranchers in the Southwest might adopt similar helicopter roundups.
