JVSR Search & Rescue Training

Jefferson Valley Search and Rescue (JVSR) attended a training on May 19, 2024, in Butte at the Butte 15-90 headquarters at the Bert Mooney Airport. Captain Dan Hagerty, Jamie Chapman, Ryan Solyst, and Larry Feight participated; the JVSR group was invited by Butte 15-90 Search and Rescue to attend and become familiar with the aircraft and procedures. The training consisted of getting familiar with the aircraft, as well as learning how B15-90SR and JVSR can access the helicopter and its crew when needed to conduct both a search and/or an extraction. Ongoing training is a critical part of belonging to the Jefferson Valley Search and Rescue, as it takes time and discipline to learn how to be prepared to conduct a search and be ready at all times.
