Memebers of HEAT on 'A' shift at Station 23 had another great opportunity to practice thier skills, as well as basket and stokes baskets operations with the Maryland State Police Aviation Division at Martins State Airport (home of MSP Trooper 1).  There were several pilots that had to do thier annual check-offs so the crew on-duty at Station 23 had plenty of flight time, as well as practicing thier skills with the helicopter crew.  A huge thank-you goes out to M.S.P. Aviation for letting us be a part of the team.
