We hear&nbsp;a talk given by Buck Harrison who joined the Royal New Zealand Air Force in 1973 as an aircraft technician, and he worked on Dakotas, Strikemasters, Skyhawks, Iroquois and Airtrainers. He then decided to retrain as a Helicopter Crewman, which was an elite aircrew role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buck talks about the intensive selection and training process that he went through to become a &#8216;Crewman&#8217;. He then details some of the more interesting missions he was involved with, from search and rescue to firefighting to Navy and Army liaison, and from police work to VIP flying in Antarctica to working with the Department of Conservation (D.O.C.). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quick Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.airforce.mil.nz\/\"
