A special missions aviator from the 41st Rescue Squadron walks towards an HH-60G Pave Hawk for an engine-running crew swap during a pre-deployment ‘spin-up’ exercise, Dec. 12, 2016, at Patrick Air Force Base, Fla. During the spin-up, the 41st RQS, alongside mission partners from the 38th and 71st Rescue Squadrons, conducted high-tempo rescue operations designed to mimic the missions they will fly downrange. They based their operations out of Patrick AFB and flew missions to Avon Park Air Force Range, Fla.
