For the curious, the rescue was done by "rope". The other person was a trained nurse. The patients wife had to disembark in Vancouver. The in-air re-fueling was done by the American Airforce which has the only airplane (I'm told) that can refuel a helipcopter mid-air. (Think about how planes travel versus helipcopters) The refueling had to be done so the helicopter could make it back to shore (SanFrancisco Hospital). The medical emergency was a heart attack. The patient was stabilized but was still critical. The daughter shared her fathers story, apparently a 50th wedding anniversary pre-trip. God bless him and his family for a speedy recovery.
