FULL SCALE HELIPCOPTER TRAINING MISSION

Greenville County has just received a newly refurbished helicopter and needed some where to practice water pick up and drops. What better place than Triple Tree. And who better to conduct this training mission than the Confederate Air Farce's own Jim Malek (otherwise known as the flight line BOSS ).
Jim also flies for the Forest Service.
