Aviators from the 859th Special Operations Squadron wrangle components of their raft during a water rescue as part of a wing-wide exercise across the Eglin Range, Florida Aug. 8, 2024. A C-146A Wolfhound crew coordinated rescue of the “downed aircrew” with the U.S. Coast Guard. The team surveyed the bay to provide details on the rafts location and maintained communications between the raft and the Coast Guard vessel. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Dylan Gentile)
