USA - Washington - US Air Force pilot calls in rescue

Looking skyward is a USAF pilot learning how to vector in a potential helicopter rescue as part of a special US Air Force (USAF) survival course (see also Corbis image 42-18212808) Fairchild AFB, Spokane, Washington State. The man has been taught to use a special escape and evasion (E &E) techniques to visiting air crew whose flying careers depend on passing this rigorous week of survival instruction. Should they be downed in hostile territory for example, they will need every skill learned here to survive possibly weeks being hunted in the wilderness so trapping and preparing fresh meat for human consumption is important for survival. Here the crewman has let off a red smoke canister to mark his location for the friendly aircraft to see.
