Conditioning for Olympic-sized mountains
DAVIS-MONTHAN AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz. - A 920th Rescue Wing HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter pierces the desert sky over the southern-Arizona mountains as part of two-weeks of high-altitude training as pilots and aircrews from the 920th Rescue Wing here trained July 12-25 at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz. Aircrews and maintainers worked day and night to gain high-altitude experience prior to their upcoming deployment to Afghanistan. The country is known for having the roughest terrain with some of the highest mountains in the world. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Capt. Cathleen Snow)
