Photo of the Day: Follow the Smoke
A bright yellow smoke rises into the sky to help the helicopter find the landing zone to pick up the troops. To start their performance, the US Special Operations Command Para-commandos teamed up with the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office to simulate a helicopter pick up of troops. The troops signaled the LZ using the yellow smoke while the UH-1 Iroquois came in to pick up the para-commandos for their performance. (Photo: November 1, 2019)
