History
This is an annual event for the Dayton DMAT. Setup
of the compound was conducted on Friday while we manned the compound on
Saturday and Sunday. Heat related problems were typical, although
we saw several "sunscreen in the eye" situations. We were stationed
at the main transportation gate and most problems were with leaving visitors.
Numbers of patients were down this year as we had fewer attendees, a nice
breeze and a lot of water available at numerous locations.
As in years past personnel from the Dayton VA were invited
to join team members at our compound. In addition, three members
of the OH-1 Communications Group also joined us for the weekend.
Although the safety of the Airshow participants was our
primary goal, having and enjoyable time was the secondary goal. The
relaxed sheltered atmosphere, the airshow and the good fellowship was enjoyed
by all.
