Jolly Green supports Dragon

Maintenance, life support and Aircrew Airmen from the 920th Rescue Wing, Patrick Air Force Base, Fla. came together hours before sunrise to support the successful launch of the first commercial space transportation launch of a Falcon 9 rocket by the civilian company SpaceX Technologies. After a failed first attempt on May 19, Armed Force Day, the launch successfully lifted off May 22 at 3:44 EDT. Rescue Wing Aircrew Airmen took off in two HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters several hours before the launch and cleared the Eastern Range to ensure safety beneath the launch hazard area.
