A rescue crew from the 347th Rescue Group at Moody Air Force Base, Ga., test a “Kangaroo Duck” in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Apalachicola, Fla. The K-Duck is an inflatable raft that is strapped to the underbelly of a rescue helicopter so it can be easily dropped to better assist with water-rescue scenarios like those experienced during Hurricane Katrina.
