The senior leadership of the New York Counterdrug Task Force flew for the first time in the New York National Guard’s new UH-72A Lakota helicopter in the skies above Stratton Air Force Base July 25. The six-seat UH-72A will support law enforcement this fall by offering aerial observation, photographic imagery, full motion video and interagency communications. Last year, Counterdrug helped law enforcement agencies seize $68,000,000 worth of narcotics, currency and weapons from drug traffickers in New York state. ( Army Photo by Spc.
