ANDREWS AFB, MD. –
Name: SSgt Pedro E. Melendez
Unit: 1st Helicopter Squadron
Duty Title: Mission Flight Engineer
Hometown: Gurabo, PR
Memorable Moment At Andrews AFB: When I got mission qualified. Knowing I'll be providing immediate support around the NCR in a unique way with unique aircrews. The mission here is different from any other UH-1N unit and as Flight Engineers we have to learn to adjust to different duties. Flying and running the mission from the left seat around the Nation's capital is something I will never forget, it doesn't get any better than that.
