A Rescue's A Rescue -- CHP Helicopter Rescues Elderly Couple From Angry Cow

Ok; Not The Most Heroic Rescue In The Books -- But When Duty Calls...

There are times when truth is far stranger than fiction... this is one of those times.

We're fond of showing how aircraft and aviators come to the rescue, time and time again, to people in need... but this is one of those few times we've been able to report a heli-rescue... due to an upset cow.

The folks at the California Highway Patrol's Golden Gate Division Air Operations told quite a tale via Facebook (and by the way, their page is GREAT reading...).

"This morning, CHP helicopter H-32 responded with fire fighters and Medic Ambulance of Solano County to a report of an elderly couple who had fallen after being chased by a cow.

H-32 arrived overhead and located the couple on a trail with the cow and a calf standing feet away in the Lynch Canyon Regional Park. H-32 hovered down to the scene and was able to move the cow by sounding the helicopters siren.

A CHP Flight Officer/Paramedic made contact with the couple and determined that they were injured and a hoist rescue would be needed. CHP H-32 hoisted the couple, one by one, approximately 75 feet to H-32 and were flown to waiting crews at the trail head.

The couple were transported to a local hospital and were treated for their injuries."

Holy cow...
