In their recent pursuit of covering and surveying the Oroville dam incident the California Highway Patrol has been utilizing Air Bear supplied mission ready aircraft to give them a bird’s eye view of the entire situation. It gives the CHP a clear and defined picture of the situation at large and the ability to continually support and assess the situation 24 hours a day. Air-21 and Air-31 provided constant aerial intelligence over the Lake Oroville Dam breach.
