A pair of 82nd Airborne UH-60s found safe haven this Mothers Day afternoon at GWO. After departing Fort Polk earlier they encountered lines of heavy thunderstorms, some with hail,
along their route of flight. After refueling, nine weary aviators headed to the local Hampton Inn hoping for better weather tomorrow. GWO offers a big salute to our nations men and women in uniform and to Bill Henderson and Cottonbelt Aviation for handling the fueling and movement of personnel to their hotel. Thanks to Rob Hammons for the photo and transporting two pilots as well.
