Airman rescues 79-year-old woman during hiking accident

U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Troy May, 62d Aircraft Maintenance Squadron heavy aircraft integrated avionics specialist, carries Ursula Bannister, a 79-year-old Tacoma resident on his back while Layton Allen and others follow and assist Bannister on the High Rock trail near Ashford, Washington, Aug. 28, 2024. Members of the group found Bannister with a broken and dislocated ankle while hiking so May and Allen decided they would carry Bannister 1.6 miles down the steep trail, help her into a car, and drive her to a hospital instead of letting her wait hours for a rescue team.
