Tuesday on Tybee Island

It seems that there is always something going on here on Tybee Island. Today it was the Georgia Air National Guard with elements of the 165th Airlift Wing using a C-130 aircraft with the 123rd Special Tactics Squadron and Combat Readiness Training Center personnel conducting training off the beach. The training keeps the Air Force Pararescue Jump Teams ready for the day when they are needed. The Pararescuemen provide emergency medical treatment for wounded military personnel recovering downed airmen in inhospitable environments. They are also utilized in natural disasters when emergency rescue assistance is needed. It was also a great morning to walk along the beach and take pictures. No more commentary, just enjoy the show.







 Got lucky to catch the bird in the right hand side of the picture.








Wanted to get a picture of the C-130 passing over this outgoing container ship. It is a big airplane but doesn't appear to be so in comparison with this ship.
