NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New high-tech equipment in two Louisiana National Guard helicopters lets the pilot and crew see things five miles away while relaying the images to people on the ground.
Louisiana is one of the first four states to get the equipment designed for law enforcement and emergency missions, according to a National Guard news release Friday.
Pilots completed a two-week training course in Alabama before bringing the UH-72 Lakota helicopters back to Louisiana.
