The Pedro Rescue Helicopter Association’s individual history project is intended to capture the personal experiences of those who served on the USAF Kaman HH-43 Huskie rescue helicopter. These are the personal accounts of those individuals, and the Association has not verified the historical accuracy of the events discussed by the participants.
