Rocky Mountain Regional Fly In 2006

 This is the third year that the RMP has volunteered our trucks for the setup, transport, security and tear down of the RMRFI. The organizers are truly impressed with our support and how efficiently we execute the tasks handed to us. The Coast Guard sent a C130 demo team to perform rescue drops just like they would in a rescue. Two RMP Pinzgauers and several members served as the drop recovery team.
