The spring hoist training cycle was started with MSP Aviation at the Andrews AFB hangar of Trooper 2.  The crew from Jones Station met with Trooper 2 personnel and reviewed the procedures in the hangar for the static evolutions.  Then the personnel went outside and worked through each of four evolutions: rescue basket deployment, bare hook tending, Stokes deployment/Stokes packaging, and team deployment/retrieval.  Trooper 7 covered for Trooper 2 during the evolutions.
