Bangor’s Army Aviation Support Facility got a request from Baxter State Park officials to assist with a rescue shortly before 5 p.m., the guard said. In less than an hour, a flight crew was assembled and on its way.
The 43-year-old woman, who was not identified, was hiking with a group, and members were able to help move her to a safe area near the intersection of the Helon Taylor and Knife Edge trails.
