PHOTOS: UNK employees lift off from campus in Chinook helicopter

Nebraska Army National Guard members flew from Grand Island to the University of Nebraska at Kearney practice field Wednesday afternoon and showcased a CH-47 Chinook helicopter.

As a special thank-you to the university for its support of the military, the three-man crew gave administrators and department heads a ride on the helicopter, which provided a bird’s-eye view of Kearney landmarks. The event was organized by Capt. Damien Cullen and the UNK Army ROTC program.
