A rescue last night for a downed Para-glider pilot.
Bell 407 ALF arrives from neighboring Canmore Base to fly the class D sling rescue. We are class D capable in CYGE, but had NO ground crews available!





We staged from a BC Forest service mountain top repeater site at 7,800'.



Pilot Ken Gray flying the rescue. The orange line seen from the LH side of the aircraft to the hook is the hydraulic release
for the second hook.



Banff Park Warden Percy Woods inbound with the victim



Banff Park Warden Terry Willis receving the patient



I flew the patient to CYGE hospital with 206L3 ALJ
