Zermatt Helicopter Rescue 1978

Yes, that's me - dislocated hip, ski buddy John over me, Ski Patrol on right...

Biting on a leather glove...

Notice helicopter door open in assistant's anticipation of low visibility...

What a great ride! That's the back of my head in the rear window...

This particular Alouette III helicopter is famous.   Click here to take a look.

Regionalspital St. Maria in Visp (Viege)
See the windsock on the roof where we landed...

The pain is gone!...

On the way to the Geneva Airport 2 days later...
