Davis-Monthan Airmen en-route to rescue injured sailors in Pacific Ocean

U.S. Air Force pararescue Airmen from the 48th Rescue Squadron perform a function check on their gear before parachuting into the Pacific Ocean to aid to two critically-injured sailors aboard a Venezuelan fishing boat May 3, 2014. The Airmen flew in two HC-130J Combat King II aircraft and three HH-60 Pavehawk helicopters for nearly 11 hours, and then parachuted into the ocean 1,100 nautical miles off the Mexican coast with two inflatable zodiac boats and medical equipment to deliver lifesaving care.
