4 HC-2 Helicopter Combat Support Squadron TWO has rescued more than 1,650 persons: victims of shipwrecks, floods, aircraft ditchings, snow-storms, and victims of enemy hostility. The list is long but these people have one thing in common-they owe their lives to the helicopters and well-trained men of HC-2. HC-2 provides more than 100 detachments for duty aboard aircraft carriers, and KENNEDY's Detachment 67 consists of four aircraft, 10 officers, and 41 enlisted personnel. The enlisted served as plane captains, trouble shooters, maintenance repairmen, and air crewmen. HC-2 presently flies the HH-2D Sea Sprite. ,nL.n..Ll ff- . -- ' -9 ,.,.f ,I- -L
