Fort Jackson officials told The State the helicopter likely wasn’t one of theirs.
The S.C. Army National Guard reached out to some of its retired Army aviators who served at the time, and they indicated this mission was likely flown by the 498th Medical Company-Air Ambulance, which had a detachment in the Columbia area, National Guard officials said. That unit has since been inactivated.
Dawley and his daughter want to find the pilots and thank them.
“Without those two men, I truly do not believe that I would have my oldest daughter,” he said. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you guys had not done what you did that night, this would be an entirely different story.”
