Safety Device saves 2 Icemen
A personal locator beacon helped save the lives of two Airmen near Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, June 24, 2013. A PLB is a device activated by the user which sets off a signal that is located by GPS. It provides a pinpoint location of the user anywhere in the world. These devices are available to be checked out from the 354th Fighter Wing safety office free of charge. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Shawn Nickel/Released)
