NEW ORLEANS -- A U.S. Air Force HH-60G rescue helicopter lifts off from
the international airport here Sept. 1. Hundreds of sorties were
completed by the steady arrival and departure of helicopters, bringing
in Hurricane Katrina survivors. Active duty, Guard and Reserve units of
the Air Force, Army, Navy and Coast Guard, along with civilian aircraft
supported the air evacuation of ambulatory and critical care patients
to the airport. (U.S. Air Force photo Master Sgt. Lance Cheung)
