This book is for heroes. Dustoff 7-3 tells the true story of four unlikely heroes in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan, where medics are forced to descend on wires to reach the wounded and helicopter pilots must fight wind, weather, and enemy fire to pluck casualties from some of the world’s most difficult combat arenas. Complete opposites thrown together, cut off, and outnumbered, Chief Warrant Officer Erik Sabiston and his flight crew answered the call in a race against time, not to take lives—but to save them. The concept of evacuating wounded soldiers by helicopter developed in the Korean War and became a staple during the war in Vietnam where heroic, unarmed chopper crews flew vital missions known to the grateful grunts on the ground as Dustoffs. The crew of Dustoff 7-3 carried on that heroic tradition, flying over a region that had seen scores of American casualties, known among veterans as the Valley of Death. At the end of Operation Hammer Down, they had rescued 14 soldiers, made three critical supply runs, recovered two soldiers killed in action, and nearly died. It took all of three days.

I was blown away! Army medevac pilots and crewmen have been saving lives since the Korean War, usually by risking their own. Sabiston does a magnificent job telling of three harrowing days in 2011 when the US Army fought a major battle in the Valley of Death in Afghanistan. Flying at the fringes of the machine's capability, in terrible weather and under enemy fire much of the time, he and his crew in an unarmed Blackhawk rescued 14 wounded soldiers, made three critical resupply runs, recovered two soldiers KIA, and nearly died several times. All in three days. DUSTOFF 7-3 is a combat helicopter flying tale right on par with CHICKENHAWK by Robert Mason, which I thought was the finest true combat helicopter story ever written until I read Sabiston's work. I'm going to put Sabiston's book on the shelf side by side with Mason's. After I read DUSTOFF 7-3, I have been shaking hands with every soldier I meet. They are all heroes to me!

Del Vecchio In Vietnam no one was crazier than the Dust Off pilots and crews who brought their Hueys into mountainous jungle clearings amid firefights... or sometimes with no clearings hovered and dropped jungle-penetrators through the canopy to extract wounded grunts. In Erik Sabiston's DustOff 7-3 the helicopters have become Blackhawks, but the tradition of courage and duty are the same. The tradition continues. Very tense situations will have you holding your breath as you read and pray for the troops and especially for aircrew medic Julia Bringloe as she is lowered on the j-p, and ascends with the wounded while under fire. This is an amazing read.

An amazing mission in Afghanistan exemplifying perseverance and skill By Valerie Caraotta Author Erik Sabistan is a passionate aviator that has survived a critical mission in Afghanistan and today lives to tell us in Dustoff 7-3 as a Medevac Air Mission Commander. In his job to deliver soldiers into combat aboard Blackhawks and pick up wounded fighters he shares "In the Dust Off business where lives are always on the line, one of the hardest things for flight crews to do is to suppress their emotions and stay focused on flying and saving lives."Eric Sabistan's love for the military came from his grandfather who was a World War II veteran. It was after the 9/11 terrorist attack that killed 3,000 people that prompted him to join the army with the dream of becoming a helicopter pilot. He was determined to fly in combat despite the deaths and injuries of friends that flew. In Operation Hammer Down for example, discover how the Taliban fighters pop up all over the caves and tunnels and how he had to alternate race track patterns with figure eights to avoid becoming predictable. In Watapur Valley Sergeant Julia Bringloe would hang from the cable connected to the helicopter and in the ultimate rescue of 14 soldiers, incurred a fractured leg and black and blue marks from bumping into trees and scraping through obstacles.In this up close narrative account, Sabiston knew all the army aviators were soldiers like those fighting in the valley. "When we flew a mission and a fellow soldier died before we arrived it was as if a part of us died also". It was this settled purpose that allowed him and others to persevere when rockets were detonating close by. Though mission was accomplished it would leave them completely exhausted – mentally and physically.If you are interested in action-packed, high adrenaline like missions this is a book for you! And it reaches more than a mission; rather, it is a test of the human soul to persevere. A hero to many, yet modest and unassuming,Sabiston has prevailed over the most dangerous operations in Afghanistan. His heart as a soldier has extended to speaking engagements nationwide professing faith, and spurning others to surpass insurmountable obstacles. He instructs upcoming aviators to fly in the UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter. I highly recommend this book to others.
