Prior to his first mission with a Lakota, Sept. 13, Sgt. 1st Class Will Jacobsen, crew chief with Company A, 1-376th Aviation (S&S) Regiment, took some time to familiarize Brollini on proper hoist functions with the UH-72 at the Florida National Guard Army Aviation Support Facility No. 1 in Jacksonville, Florida. Brollini took his first ride in a Lakota helicopter later that evening as part of a mission he was assigned to.(Nebraska National Guard photo by Spc. Lisa Crawford)
