Neighbors helping neighbors has become a way of operating this week in Colorado as Search and Rescue units from around the country board a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter assigned to Charlie Company, 5th Battalion, 159th Aviation Regiment, Wyoming National Guard, as a CH-47 from the 4th Combat Aviation Brigade of the 4th infantry Division flies nearby, as well as a UH-72 Lakota helicopter with the 2nd Battalion, 135th General Support Aviation Battalion, Colorado National Guard heads towards the flooded areas in Larimer County Colorado, at Christman Field, Fort Collins Colo. Sept. 17, 2013. What is being dubbed “Operation Centennial Raging Waters” is likely the biggest rotary-wing airlift mission since Hurricane Katrina.
