On 26 October 2002 the NAS Whidbey Island, Wash., search and rescue team received news that a climber had fallen and broken his leg on nearby Mt. Erie. As the team's SH-3 Sea King hovered at 1,000 feet, the crew chief directed the helo to within several feet of Mt. Erie's rock face. The corpsman was hoisted down to the site, where he began to assess the climber's injuries while the helo circled the area to wait for the pickup call.
