36th RQF: Soaring above and beyond

FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash. -- Capt. Micah West, 36th Rescue Flight UH-1N Huey pilot, begins flipping switches ensuring the helicopter is ready for take-off. During this process, every switch that is flipped will be verified by the flight engineer or pilot/co-pilot to ensure the right switches are being used. This is more crucial when the aircraft is in flight because flipping the wrong switch could possibly bring down the helicopter. (U.S. Air Force Photo / Tech. Sgt. Larry W. Carpenter Jr.)
