Helicopter Lands Man On Lighthouse in Navy Mercy Mission
A midnight rescue off Chesapeake Bay saw Lt Cmdr William C. Casey pilot a Patuxent helicopter to the roof of Holland’s Island Bar Light. Lt Charles E. Cook, carried in a sling, was lowered onto the lighthouse to receive medical aid after a rocket attack by Navy planes. The mission occurred during a gunnery training run from Atlantic City. The helicopter hovered about ten feet above the roof while the crew ensured a safe hoist and entry for Cook as a boat approached from the mainland. The incident follows rockets striking the lighthouse during the same period.
