Slide one: Biddeford Fire Department honored the group as it passed.

Slide two: Main Street Saco had many displaying their American Flags

Top Sky Eagle blessed the landing area for a safe landing of the Huey and crew.

While he was doing the blessing, an Eagle made an appearance.

This was something you had to see to believe for many.

The Huey landed shortly after the blessing.

At the end of the “Freedom Ride”, many went to see the IASAR Huey. Thank you Charlie Walker and crew from “Indiana Air Search A Rescue” bringing us some of our history back to Maine for us to see from Indiana. This Huey served in the Maine National Guard as well as Vietnam.
