All flags to half-mast, a sad day for mountain rescue. More than 1500 funeral guests accompanied today the burial service for KIFA air rescuer Franz Franzeskon. Austria decorated the very popular rescuer of outstanding merits postum with the Golden Medal For Merit, one of the highest decorations of Austria. A formation flight of an interior ministry helicopter and an EC 135 rescue helicopter gave a last farewell from the air.
