Chinook hoists satellite dish
A CH-47 Chinook helicopter from the Montana Army National Guard carries microwave dishes up to Highwood Baldy Mountain roughly 40 miles northeast of Great Falls Aug. 21 in support of the Wide Area Coverage Project supported by Air Force Space Command. The project brings Air Force and Montana communication capabilities into the 21st Century through digital communication. Four microwave dishes will be installed on a 100-foot tower that was brought up in 20-foot sections. The MANG completed 50 lifts in a two week time frame. Today was the culmination of the last airlift. The new antenna will also support Choteau, Cascade and Judith Basin counties; Montana Highway Patrol; Montana Department of Transportation; local law enforcement agencies; and first-responders.
