    BrianW... you in on this one?

    Oregon Air National Guard rescues climbers in trouble atop Mount Hood a few days back. The rescue guys like to use CH-47 Chinooks for mountain rescues because they've got the power to deal with the ah... interesting... winds you get close in in the mountains. And the ANG rescue teams like to rescue climbers in trouble as it keeps them in training for doing the same sort of extractions in what we used call injin' country.



    The good stuff starts about 6 minutes in or so. This video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXMNyO8QrCg, they chat with the pilot about the rescue.
    “The big joke on democracy is that it gives its mortal enemies the tools to its own destruction,” Goebbels said as the Nazis rose to power—one of those quotes that sound apocryphal but are not.​
