The public was invited to get a close-up view of a Blackhawk helicopter on Tuesday morning at Barton Community College. Barton joined with the Kansas Army National Guard on April 8 to provide health-care students with this exciting experience, which showcased the military helicopter as well as demonstrations from the pilots and crew highlighting air medical operations and emergency response procedures.
