Wisconsin Air and Army National Guard performed a RARE capability demonstration together at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.
Two F-35 Lightning II's, 8 UH-60 Black Hawks, and a KC-135 Stratotanker dominated the airspace while M119 howitzer operators were dropped onto the flightline, and infantry Soldiers of the 32nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team were also dropped onto the flightline where they demonstrated an assault. Meanwhile, two Black Hawks performed a hoist lift for a litter patient and a dynamic hoist for an ambulatory patient. During all of this, 2 howitzers were firing blanks from on the ground and pyrotechnics were going off in the distance!
An absolutely outstanding display of just a small but crucial portion of what our citizen Soldiers and Airmen have the ability to provide to not only our state if needed, but to anywhere across the globe.
