New Hampshire Wing’s annual Search and Rescue Exercise (SAREX) took place this weekend.  The SAREX was based at the Mount Washington Regional Airport, in Whitefield, New Hampshire.

Three intrepid cadets started the fun with a Ramp Check, and posed for a great sunset.  “Red at night, Sailors’ delight…”

Unfortunately, it was red in the morning as well.  Sunrise, at MWRA.

The weather held off long enough for the Ground Teams to search the woods.

The rather dense woods . . .

It was a great weekend, with realistic training.

 C/2Lt Moss was presented with his Mitchell Award at Monday’s meeting.  The Award was presented by Lebanon’s Mayor, Dr. Georgia Tuttle.
