In this holiday time, Davis-Monthan airmen can reflect on a challenging year, including how they met the challenge of helping their fellow citizens hurt by Hurricane Helene ’s impact on North Carolina.If you are in trouble somewhere in the world, an aircraft like the HC-130J would be something you’d be very happy to see. Some of them are based at Davis Monthan –and are part of rescue units that went to the disaster zone affected by Hurricane Helene .
