Search rescue teams save downed pilots in Yugoslavia
About 150 air commandos from the 16th Special Operations Group at Hurlburt Field assembled in southern Italy. The unit based at Brindisi uses MH 53 Pave Low III and MH 60K Blackhawks to recover downed airmen behind enemy lines. They train at Kirtland AFB and are known as air commandos for their night low level, armored, and armed insertions to rescue pilots and protect crews.
