The lucky young man wearing the helmet seems to be all geared up and ready to fly! Students of the Romeo Country School were treated to a tour of a Coast Guard helicopter that landed on the Romeo Lions Field. Manned by Lt. Mike Hoffner and Petty Officer Bill Krimmel of Selfridge Air National Guard Base, Hoffer explained to the students that "the copter is used in drug patrols, law enforcement exercises and rescue missions. 'We will do anything to help the local government agencies,' he said."
The photo appeared in the May 20, 1987 edition of The Romeo Observer. Do you know who any of the students are?
