"What is your most memorable moment on Andrews AFB?"
Hackin' the Mish, my first scramble launch. It's a rush to be alerted. Sprinting to the aircraft, start, taxi, and take-off in a few quick minutes. Flying in and around the Nation's capital (sometimes at 200 feet), technically not 'on Andrews AFB,' my job is to fly, and the NCR is my AOR. At the Heli, we deliver continuous, immediate-response capability in support of sensitive Joint Contingency Plans vital to National Security and Continuity of Operations. The opportunity to do my part in this unique mission has been my most memorable moment.
