Brooke Bingham, a pilot from Malibu, Calif., worked with a global navigation chart that was at least 5 feet long. Eddie Jones, a 146th navigator and flight crew mission commander from Santa Barbara, Calif., said. Their facilities and customer service are as phenomenal as their interest in teaching and learning new ideas with other air as space forces. The training curriculum was field briefings and intense medical exercises, from building tents, triaging and building litters, to performing checks on aircraft and evacuating patients by plane. The formal briefings covered aerospace medicine, organizers said.
Chile is a narrow country with a big heart.
Their military is extremely professional and capable. One highlight was briefing two Chilean doctors and two nurses on the aeromedical evacuation program, then sending them on an observed class where they became the crew on an engines-running exercise at the end of the Earth. In three days, together we showed we could advance students from novices whose only equivalent experience was on smaller aircraft to a very good C-130 flight medicine crew. Tony Duran, the 146th's noncommissioned officer in charge of the mission, said. Their senior surgeon said what his forces needed was a visit to stimulate them.
