More than 50 airmen and two HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters of the 56th Rescue Squadron, NAS Keflavik, Iceland, came home Monday after nearly two weeks in Bulgaria, where they demonstrated how to conduct combat search and rescue during Cooperative Key 2005. Many of the 21 allied nations attending the exercise do not have CSAR forces, so the USAF airmen were the center of much attention.
