In this episode of The Real ResQ Podcast, host Jason Quinn is joined by Robert E. Lee, a former United States Coast Guard flight mechanic.
Lee shares his experiences during his time in Clearwater, Florida, starting with his first rescue. He recounts responding to Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita, describing the challenges and dangers of these missions, including dealing with survivors who didn’t want to be rescued and witnessing the storms’ devastation.
He also discusses two other standout rescues in Clearwater: One involving two men found in the water after their boat sank, and another with the unique twist of being able to drive the survivor home.
From there, Lee reflects on his time in Houston, sharing insights on the camaraderie with different pilots and his transition back to Houston for a twilight tour. He also recalls a heroic car accident rescue that earned him the Puro Clean Award. Enjoy!
