Rapid City Regional Airport will conduct a mock plane crash training exercise Saturday and is looking for up to 50 volunteers to portray accident victims and distraught family members.
The simulated accident will take place on Longview Road. Firefighters, emergency medical personnel, airport staff, law enforcement, emergency management, airline officials, Rapid City Regional Hospital, the American Red Cross and others will participate.
The exercise will begin about 6 a.m. and be finished by 1 p.m. Lunch will be provided for all volunteers. If the weather is bad, the exercise will be rescheduled to Saturday, June 28.
The Federal Aviation Administration requires the training every three years to operate a public-use airport with passenger service.
To participate, contact Airport Operations and Security Officer Gary English at 605-391-9515.
