Medevac Pilot Captain David Lovett: I constantly find new things to worry about. I am always worried whenever they go out on missions and I am not there. I'm constantly wondering how far out are they, when are they getting back. I'd like to be out there with them all the time.The biggest concern is doing the hoist missions in the Korengal Valley because you are a sitting target. You are trying to get in there, get the medic and get out. You don't want to sit and hover anywhere in the Korengal. Whenever I wake up in the middle of the night and we have a nineline call, I always think please let it not be a hoist in the Korengal. I try and not tell my wife everything so that she doesn't worry. What I miss most is proper airconditioning and food.
