"And is the first one from one of the "helo ops" sessions?"

That was taken on Thanksgiving Day.
At the start of a 25 mile "run" to pick sdomeone up from a tow barge and bring him back to port.
That is one of the boats helo ops are done on.
That's what the helmets are for in the pic.

I think I remember that run. I can't remember the details exactly but the gentleman you went to pick up needed to get back in a hurry. Something to do with his son, I think?
