Mode 7 Emergency Exercise

Air Force Reserve pararescuemen from the 920th Rescue Wing treat astronauts injured in a NASA orbiter crash during a Mode 7 Exercise at Cape Canaveral February 13th. The exercise provided training in the event the Space Shuttle would veer off the runway during a landing into a remote area of Cape Canaveral. NASA firefighters and Air Force Reserve pararescuemen were airlifted by rescue wing Pave Hawk helicopter aircrews to the remote site to exercise their egress and medical skills.
