Angel's Wings Archive
The objective of the community relations program is to increase public awareness and understanding of the Air Force and the 920th Rescue Wing's mission. We support surrounding communities in all aspects, ranging from tour requests and speaking engagements to airshow demonstrations and flyovers. Our goal is to foster positive relations with the surrounding communities. For more information, email 920RQWPA@us.af.mil
Aerial Event Requests
Community Relations helps facilitate flyover and static display requests that the 920th Rescue Wing performs in the community; however, the process does not start with this office. To start a request, you must submit a DD Form 2535 online, which can be found at www.airshows.pa.hq.af.mil, and receive approval from the Air Force Aerial Events office at the Pentagon. The 920th RQW can only consider your request after you have approval from the Pentagon. Flyovers are considered for aviation-related and patriotic observances held in conjunction with Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, POW/MIA Day, or Veterans Day (event must be within five days of the actual holiday dates to be considered). There are some exceptions to policies; those not meeting the criteria can possibly be approved one-time only as an Exception-to-Policy event, provided there is sufficient rationale for support. The request process takes approximately 60 days to complete.
Speaker Requests
The Speaker's Bureau gives Air Force people the chance to interact directly with its neighbors in the community, professional organizations, schools, businesses and civic organizations. Our speakers consist of personnel from a wide array of job descriptions. Most organizations request speakers to talk about the Guardian Angels, HH-60G Pave Hawk, HH-60W Jolly Green II helicopter, HC-130J Combat King II aircraft, 920th Rescue Wing mission, Air Force Reserve mission, specific job descriptions or personal experiences in the Air Force. If you would like to schedule a speaker for an event, e-mail a detailed request to 920RQWPA@us.af.mil.
