Since November 20, Regiment 917, Division 370, Air Defense - Air Force received orders from above to urgently mobilize helicopters to participate in rescue, search and rescue, and transport and drop relief goods to flood victims in the provinces and cities of the Central and Central Highlands regions.
After successfully completing the transfer flight from Can Tho airport to Cam Ranh airport, the unit immediately conducted a terrain inspection flight in Nha Trang city and Dien Khanh commune, Khanh Hoa province in the afternoon of the same day.
On November 22, at exactly 2:20 p.m., when weather and meteorology permitted, following orders from superiors, the crew members of the rescue helicopter Mi-171 with serial number 8431 and the crew of the Mi-171 with serial number 02 took off one after another, carrying with them many sentiments sent in carefully tied and wrapped packages to the people.
During the flight from Cam Ranh airport to the relief point, the weather conditions were complicated, with light rain. The pilots calmly controlled the helicopter to fly at a speed of 140km/h and an altitude of 200m.
When the two helicopters approached Hoa Xuan commune, the water was immense and many houses had their roofs submerged. Because the commune is located near the mouth of the Da Nong river, adjacent to the sea, it was isolated for many days.
Going deeper, the flight crew observed that Phuoc Giang village of Hoa Xuan commune still had many households with many roofs isolated, precariously located in the middle of the vast water. The pilots of the flight crew on helicopter 8431 decided to choose the location, lowered the altitude, and controlled the aircraft to hover at a stable altitude of 20-25m...
Following the captain's orders, the mechanics quickly dropped packages of necessities, medicine, and food that were carefully wrapped in many layers of nylon and pineapple sacks. Helicopter number 02 observed and found a suitable landing location. The crew skillfully piloted the plane to land and deliver the goods to the people.
Very quickly, 4 tons of goods on 2 helicopters were delivered to the people in full, ensuring absolute safety.
Returning to land at Cam Ranh airport, Colonel Ngo Hong Son - Deputy Commander of the 917th Regiment's Training Regiment emotionally said: "I am a son of Nghe An, my homeland has also continuously suffered a lot of damage due to natural disasters, storms... that's why I understand the disasters and losses that people have been struggling to bear in recent days. The moment I flew into the flooded area, I witnessed the scene of many people being separated, isolated, suffering from hunger, cold, and their lives being seriously threatened. Our flight crew always kept in mind that we will do our best, together with the authorities at all levels, with our enthusiasm and small strength, to contribute to solving and overcoming the consequences of natural disasters for the people."
Regiment 910 and Regiment 920 (Air Force Officer School) are units stationed and performing tasks in Tuy Hoa ward, Dak Lak province. In recent days, in addition to being on duty to carry out central political tasks, the leaders, commanders, officers, soldiers and employees of the two Regiments have made efforts day and night, working side by side to help and provide relief to people in flood-hit areas in the area.
In recent days, Regiments 940 and 910 have dispatched many vehicles to support ambulances, transporting sick people across many deeply flooded roads to timely emergency care at hospitals. The two units also received dozens of tons of essential goods, medicines; life jackets and life buoys along with thousands of meals from agencies, units, and donors... regardless of danger, quickly crossed deeply flooded roads, strong currents, transported and provided relief to people in flooded areas, where many families have run out of food and suffered from hunger and thirst for many days in Lac Chi village, Xuan My village, Hoa My commune and Phu Hoa 2 commune... Dak Lak province.
In the coming days, officers and soldiers of the Air Defense - Air Force will continue to do a good job of preparing all aspects, always ready to carry out tasks when ordered, ensuring the fastest and most effective relief for people in flood-affected areas.
