Part 1 of aerial tour of Cape Canaveral onboard helicopter with 920th Rescue Wing

An aerial tour of Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center onbaord an HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter with the 920th Rescue Wing from Patrick, AFB in Florida. Members of the 920th took the media on an aerial survey of the launch pads and facilities of Cape Canaveral and KSC. some people flew on HC-130 aircraft and others, including me, flew on the Pave Hawks. We flew over the Delta 2 complex, SLC-17, up ICBM row to the Delta IV complex SLc-37 and the Atlas 5 launch pad SLC-41, SpaceX Falcon 9 pad at SLC-40 and the space shuttle launch pad 39-A. We then flew by the Vehicle Assembly Building and cruised down the space shuttle landing runway. Our tour winds up with an overflight of the KSC Visitor Center and then we head back to the Skid Strip at Cape Canaveral for landing. This is part one of a two-part video.
