Military helicopters rescue eight people during weekend
The crews of the Transport Helicopter Squadron of the 93rd Air Base and of the Multi-purpose Helicopters of the 91st Air Base of the Croatian Air Force and Air Defence helped rescue eight persons during the weekend from 4-6 July 2014.
The Transport Helicopter Squadron took five patients in need to the University Hospital Centre in Split (from the island of Hvar and Šolta) and assisted in a search-and-rescue action in the island of Krk, jointly with the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service; in all cases were foreign tourists visiting Croatia.
The Multi-purpose Helicopter Squadron took part in rescue of three persons from the north Adriatic islands (the island of Rab and Lošinj respectively) to the University Hospital Centre in Rijeka.
The last intervention was requested on Saturday late evening, with transportation of a patient from the University Hospital Centre in Split to the University Hospital Centre in Zagreb.
